+## Summary 
+
+This research elective is designed for students interested in deepening their understanding of data-
+driven methods in architecture with an emphasis on sustainability. The course blends seminar and workshop
+formats, featuring input lectures from guest speakers in academia and industry. The topics range from
+environmental performance to augmented intelligence in design.
+
+
+## Deliverables
+
+Students will work on a hand-on project to analyze complex sustainability-related phenomena,
+such as energy consumption, mobility patterns, thermal comfort, daylighting, well-being, and quality of space.
+To this end, students will develop an individual research question that they will answer with a data-driven
+approach, developed over the semester. The final deliverable is an 
+
+1. implementation of their approach (using
+Rhino, Grasshopper, C#, Python, Javascript)
+1. conference-ready manuscript / slide deck where processes, findings, and
+conclusions are documented.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Students should have intermediate to advanced digital skills and prior experience in
+environmental systems and computational design, as the course skips introductory workshops in favor of a
+more technical focus. Experience with Python/C# will be advantageous but is not required. The teaching
+methodology will emphasize evidence-based design, variant testing, and evaluation using existing and custom-
+built computational tools. The course fosters a collaborative learning environment, encouraging students to
+work with curiosity and rigor as they develop new tools and insights collective
