Abstract

The analysis of the higher education in the sphere of sustainable development shows that there is a need to include the concept of sustainable and practical design thinking at all levels, starting from ideological level (stability as conceptual and ethical justification of architecture), methodological level (the principles and strategy for the solution of various subject matters), and finally, practical level, by introducing stability concerning programs for architectural education to impart abilities to critically analyze process and to creatively find sustainable solutions which can be developed for creation of the environment. The two-level programs implemented at the universities consisting of the system of architectural education and a subsystem of steady architectural design (consisting of the steady theoretical and design training/practical courses and cross-disciplinary courses connected with education in the field of sustainable development in the architectural training program) are presented in this article.
