DARC
Designing the new world: Developing architectural education in response to climate change.
'DARC’ is an EU/Australia ICI Education Cooperation Program Joint Mobility Project. It commenced in July 2011, and will continue until mid 2014. The 6 schools involved in this project (RMIT Melbourne, UPC-ETSAB Barcelona, UTS Sydney, ENSA Toulouse, QUT Brisbane, Turin, Polytechnic) undertake some research and teaching activities framed around one of the most important issues of our time: educating future architects and designers to design in a world adapting to climate change.
