Subject:

Description:

This seminar is an introduction to the basics of small- to medium-scale development. It begins with a series of introductory lectures covering the principles and tools of development, such as creating a project performa, basic tax credits, TIFs, and financial structuring of a project; exploring methods of implementing sustainable practices and designs into development-driven projects through marketability, cost-savings, tax credits, and other incentives; and investigating the process of real estate development through the use of sustainable ideas and practices in buildings. It continues with a series of case studies in which the class examines models of existing developers in terms of these base elements. Finally, students are asked to develop a project in order to understand the architect-client relationship and how to stimulate recognition of the value and importance of sustainable design in real estate development.
