	Environmental design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Environmental design is the process of addressing environmental parameters when devising plans, programs, policies, buildings, or products.
		Environmental design includes such specialties as architects, acoustical scientists, engineers, environmental scientists, landscape architects, urban planning, interior designers, lighting designers, and exhibition designers.
		Examples of the environmental design process include use of roadway noise computer models in design of noise barriers and use of roadway air dispersion models in analyzing and designing urban highways.

		And, we need to seek design solutions that are great not in the dominance of a single idea but in the graceful balance of many equally valid ideas that work in synergy to solve multiple problems.
		What is fundamentally different about the sustainable design process is that more analysis needs to take place in the early stages of design and that the design team needs to be more involved throughout the entire life cycle of the building.
		Design drainage systems that will allow stormwater to leave the site at a rate that is equal to or less than the rate that stormwater left the site prior to development.

		Environmental Design can be broadly defined as the study of the aggregate of objects (man-made or natural) and conditions (physical, as well as larger cultural, social, political, economic, technical, and aesthetic factors) that constitute the constructed and natural surroundings.
		The area of study of the Environmental Design course is the relationship between a building and its context and the renewed attention to environmental issues, such are global warming and energy saving, in building construction techniques and design methodologies developed in the contemporary architectural culture.
		The following projects are then designed to encourage the student to examine the critical process of interaction between the design and the environment and to reach truly creative solutions.
