aim
“...to develop an essential and innovative training programme which will better equip built environment professionals to work in the field of international development. By developing and improving this specialized education which unites the skills of the architectural profession with the needs of developing communities, the programme will provide professionals with the appropriate skills and understanding to work effectively in marginalised and underprivileged communities and so address the problems of poverty and environment�.
