Here is a post with my works on Sustainable Architectural Design which I did during M.Arch in Environmental Design at University of Nottingham. Trust me, it took 2 terms for me to actually understand what I was doing and what I came to study. But it was indeed a great experience in learning that new world.

The first module was a Environmental and Sustainable Design for a '6th form centre'. The whole concept was completely new to understand and it was an exercise to get familiar with the design strategies according to local bylaws, technologies, techniques and software. We worked in a team of 3 (Naseem Khan, Carlos Hidalgo and me). It was a redesign of an extended cafeteria block of a long stretch of an prestigious Highfields school at Matlock, UK. Its is a beautiful site atop a valley. The building marks a grand view of the building from the other side of the valley. The site had only advantages and no disadvantages for our design concept.
