Doctorate in Sustainable Design and Construction

School of Science and Engineering

Atlantic International University

The doctoral program in Sustainable Design and Construction provides scientific knowledge and tools for the analysis of place, which allows identifying and understanding environmental, social and economic resources and flows in the site and its surroundings, seeking synergic architectural solutions that adapt to them and take advantage of them appropriately. The reading of the place is the basis for creating appropriate and lasting solutions. Our program does not require each student to study the same subjects and use the same books and other learning materials as others. If you are a purpose-driven individual who wants to elevate your life and make a solid contribution to the world, then this program is for you.
