Anchored in the university’s core pillars of sustainability and innovation, the CUD architecture students were placed in the heart of the living laboratory of Ghaf Woods to nurture their creative mindset and to promote sustainability literacy. Under the mentorship of faculty lead Christine Yogiaman, the designers explored adaptive architecture focused on passive strategies, such as shading, natural ventilation, and thermal mass, to minimise energy consumption in Dubai’s hot climate. The students combined creative exploration with practical environmental strategies, producing designs that not only minimise ecological impact but also enhance the user experience through harmony with the natural world.
