Abstract

One masters studio and two bachelor&s;s units are described below, highlighting the different approaches to educating students for the climate emergency. The ever-present factor of time in architecture gains significance and creates a new setting for addressing climate change adaptation, and these are considerations which frame the pedagogies within Studio 3. At Studio 3, the aim is to critically investigate the production of architecture under unstable territorial and environmental conditions, both now and as imagined shifted in the future. The architectural explorations in Cuba were diverse, demonstrating that multidisciplinary working methods and a willingness to learn from an unfamiliar context results in architecture which is developed and used by people and which also creates space for human interactions and builds resilient communities in times of a changing climate. The future challenges which the architecture profession faces are fundamental to address and are considered design opportunities for both teaching and learning.
