Experiential Learning Theory as a Teaching Method in Climate Smart Architecture and Urban Design

This study focuses on the experiential learningtheory as an important teaching method for architecture andurban design students at architecture Dept., Lund University.By applying Kolb' s model - in a course so called ClimateSmart Architecture and Urban Design - , the diverse learningstyles of all learners are incorporated and a step by step coursedesign framework enables studio and seminar designinstructors to guide learners through each phase of thelearning cycle. The developed course will contribute to betterteaching and learning and will also enhance the pedagogicaldiscussion within the dept. of Architecture and BuiltEnvironment, Lund University
