| Summary: | The role of higher education in creating a more environmentally
sustainable future is irrefutable. However, there is currently no clear
evidence of definitive framework in training the professionals to be
environmentally literate. The article is an extended analysis of a survey
conducted to assess the level of integration and implementation of
sustainability issues in the curricula of programmes at the schools of
architecture in Malaysia. It looked on the level of awareness and training
background of educators on sustainability and the sustainability content in
studio projects and related courses. Based on the earlier findings, this
article recommends the organisation of more training programs related to
sustainability, the revision of existing curricula to inculcate sustainability
awareness at lower years and the incorporation of humanistic aspects of
sustainability into architectural education. |
