Carine Woiezechoski, Mohataz Hossain & Rofayda Salem
Carine Woiezechoski is an architect, researcher and educator who specialises in environmental design. She bridges academic and professional practice in the UK and Brazil, with particular expertise in sustainable urban farming systems.
Mohataz Hossain is an educator, sustainability expert and researcher in the field of integrated environmental design, technology and energy-efficient architecture with a special focus on users’ comfort and wellbeing.
Rofayda Salem is a researcher and educator in environmental design, specialising in Islamic architecture and heritage conservation. She has professional experience in sustainability in the Middle East and Turkey.
The TES modules deliver a rigorous technical framework for evidence-based environmental design, equipping students with analytical methodologies to evaluate built environment performance.
TES 1 establishes fundamental principles of building physics, material lifecycle assessment and bioclimatic construction techniques. In second year, TES 2 advances students’ technical competency through understanding the application of passive environmental strategies, thermal modelling and quantitative performance metrics. In the students’ final year of study, TES 3 culminates with developing proficiency of sophisticated computational simulation tools that enable precise prediction and optimisation of indoor and outdoor environmental conditions.
The curriculum integrates theoretical sessions with technical workshops, addressing environmental analyses across different scales and human comfort parameters. Industry practitioners contribute specialised technical knowledge through guest lectures on emerging assessment methodologies. This integrated educational approach prepares graduates to be innovative practitioners capable of designing environmentally-conscious architecture.
