Education Toolkit

This Toolkit is intended for everyone – tutors, students, course leaders, heads of schools and others – who wants to take immediate, ongoing and meaningful action towards a new climate education for architecture.

We are in a climate emergency and the sixth mass extinction, and we all need to work with as much urgency as we can. We recognise the quality of climate and ecology-related teaching that is already present in many schools of architecture. We know a lot of good work is already being done, and this needs to be amplified and shared. However, we also know that many tutors and students are looking for ways to take action, and may feel relatively new to this journey of change.

Over the summer we held two workshops, attended by hundreds of architecture tutors from all levels of teaching, experience and areas of expertise. These remarkable gatherings showed us the appetite for change from across the sector. The Toolkit was informed by these workshops and feedback from students and tutors. The Toolkit comprises two elements: Principles and Actions, and Resources.
​
These workshops and resources are part of our ongoing Climate Curriculum Campaign to increase climate literacy in schools of architecture.
