The Master of Science in Design with a concentration in Environmental Building Design (MSD-EBD) is an advanced, three-semester, post-professional degree that adds an additional, research-oriented semester to the professionally oriented MEBD degree. It is designed for architects seeking to develop new approaches to environmental design. A wider range of skills, which are tested through experiment and validation, are required to achieve real innovation in this rapidly changing field. The challenge for architects is to operate between the synthetic activities of design and the analytic procedures of research. The EBD Research studio develops and tests physical prototypes of buildings and components as part of an iterative design process.
