A question popped in my email some time ago but I lost track of it until reminded today:

“Hi Michael

Hope this email finds you well.

In late 2010 I visited your house – thanks again for opening your doors. Since then I’ve read your book and am very interested to know whether there are any tertiary / TAFE courses (or otherwise) which focus on sustainable house design.

I understand that architectural degrees do, to an extent. A permaculture course (PDC) I recently completed also touched on it, however I don’t think it was detailed enough to potentially make a career out of it – which I’m very interested in.

Falling short of doing a degree in architecture, is there anything else out there you’re aware of? If not, there should be!

Many thanks in advance

D,

Thanks for an excellent question and a good one to blog and share.

There’s just been a survey of sustainability courses around Australia, called, “Free ebook guide on uni courses, as sustainability education goes on the rise and rise”.  The useful and free information is here:

Enjoy, and good luck with your studies if you embark on them,
