Approaches to Teaching AE Design

One of the questions I've asked on the survey/questionnaire that I'm developing is which approaches to teaching AE Design do the faculty use.  I've included links to most of them below to help anyone who's uncertain of the meaning I intend.

July's Escape - AE Examples in the UK


I spent July in the UK, mostly enjoying myself in the countryside and in London. Several AE related visits particularly impressed me:



  • The Eden Project in Cornwall (images) - What a splendid marriage of structure, landscape and MEP.
  • Peterborough Cathedral (among others - images) - Like so many gothic cathedrals the structure that has endured 800 years exalts the spirit as good architecture should.
  • Alpine House in Kew Gardens, London - (my images) - Like the Eden project a splendid, though far smaller, integration of structure and MEP.
Any of these could be used as excellent case studies in a design class.
