The design of low and medium-rise buildings has, for some time, taken climatic variations and sustainability into account. However, despite the increase in the number of large-scale buildings worldwide during the last few decades, high-rise buildings are still seen as mega-scale energy consumers with little regard for sustainable design and performance. The current environmental agenda and interest in sustainability across the globe raises the significance of mega-buildings.
On this interdisciplinary course, we focus on the principles of sustainable planning and design of mega-buildings and prepare students to specialise professionally in this field.

Mae'r Brifysgol wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu amrywiaeth eang o opsiynau modiwl lle’n bosibl. Ond byddwch yn ymwybodol er y byddwn yn gwneud pob ymdrech i gynnig dewis, gall hyn gael ei gyfyngu mewn rhai amgylchiadau. Y rheswm am hyn yw'r ffaith mai dim ond nifer cyfyngedig o leoedd sydd ar gael ar rai modiwlau, a gaiff eu dyrannu ar sail y cyntaf i'r felin. Mae'n ofynnol i fodiwlau eraill sicrhau isafswm nifer o fyfyrwyr cyn gallu eu cynnal, er mwyn gwneud yn siŵr y gellir cyflwyno addysg o ansawdd priodol. Gall modiwlau gael eu cyfyngu oherwydd gwrthdaro yn yr amserlen hefyd, ac er bod y Brifysgol yn ymdrechu i amharu cyn lleied â phosibl ar eich dewis, byddai'n syniad da i chi ofyn am gyngor gan yr Ysgol berthnasol am y dewisiadau modiwl sydd ar gael.
Dysgu ac asesu
Sut y caf fy addysgu?
The methods of teaching we employ will vary from module to module, as appropriate depending on the subject matter and the method of assessment. We teach using a mixture of lectures, seminars, workshops, study visits, project work, and group tutorials.
In lectures and workshops, we aim to make appropriate use of audio-visual support to aid learning and development of subject-specific skills. You will be given access to relevant teaching materials through the University’s virtual learning environment, Learning Central.
The specialist modules on the course include project work, where you will use mega-building case studies to build 3D physical models in the School’s workshop and Digital Fabrication Lab and can test them in the School’s artificial sky dome.
You will also be taught to use various environmental simulation software programmes, some of which have been developed in the Welsh School of Architecture.
Finally, you will research an area of sustainable mega-building design and planning of interest to you and submit a dissertation based on this research. Your dissertation will be conducted independently with supervision by a member of staff.
Sut y caf fy asesu?
Taught and project-based modules are assessed in a variety of different ways depending on the module content and learning outcomes (found in the module descriptions). We use class tests, course work (both written assignments and oral presentations or critical assessments/ reviews), and project work, or a combination of these to assess your progress on the module.
In the dissertation stage, your dissertation is the sole object of assessment. The dissertation is based on a piece of research which you have carried out in an agreed subject area under supervision.
Sut y caf fy nghefnogi?
All of our students are allocated a personal tutor when they enrol on the course. A personal tutor is there to support you during your studies and can advise you on academic and personal matters that may be affecting you. You should have regular meetings with your personal tutor to ensure that you are fully supported.
You will have access to our bespoke Architecture Library, as well as to materials in the other Cardiff University Libraries.
Feedback
We offer written and oral feedback, depending on the coursework or assessment you have undertaken. You will usually receive your feedback from the module leader. If you have questions regarding your feedback, module leaders are usually happy to give advice and guidance on your progress.
Pa sgiliau y byddaf yn eu hymarfer a’u datblygu?
On completing the course, you should be able to:
- Understand the principles and strategies relevant to designing sustainable mega-buildings.
- Explain how the philosophy and theory of designing mega-buildings relates to the built environment in a wider regulatory context.
- Evaluate key theoretical and methodological perspectives in employing building modelling and energy simulation tools, on-site observations and monitoring, comparative performance data and calculate results to tackle specific design problems and explorations.
- Critically analyse, interpret and evaluate complex information, concepts, theories and tools to develop original applications of knowledge.
- Identify and apply appropriate analytical and technical tools, techniques and equipment, and computer software in conceptualising and addressing challenging design problems.
- Demonstrate autonomy and originality in use of appropriate technologies and in determining approaches in response to the demands from government initiatives, legislation and the public for enhanced environmental performance of mega-buildings.
- Critically evaluate decisions, methods and results when tackling problems and formulating sustainable design guidelines and proposals for new and existing mega-buildings.

It is an intensive one-year course, with the excellent tutors' help, we developed all aspects of our ability, such as creativity, presentation, cooperation and modelling. The Welsh School of Architecture also provides plenty of resources for us to do investigations and researches, based on that, we can accomplish tasks highly efficiently. The atmosphere on the course is quite good; we can not only learn knowledge about mega-buildings but also have a chance to challenge and improve ourselves.

Gyrfaoedd graddedigion
Ar hyn o bryd mae prinder byd-eang o benseiri a gweithwyr adeiladu proffesiynol sy'n arbenigo ym maes cynllunio a dylunio mega-adeiladau sy'n perfformio'n gynaliadwy. Felly, mae galw cynyddol am raddedigion sydd wedi astudio'r math hwn o gwrs.
Fel arfer, bydd graddedigion o'r cwrs hwn yn cael gwaith mewn cwmnïau sy’n dylunio neu’n cynllunio ar raddfa fawr, ymgynghoriaethau dylunio amgylcheddol, canolfannau ymchwil a datblygu, neu gallant hyd yn oed sefydlu eu cwmnïau eu hunain.
O ystyried y diddordeb cyhoeddus, llywodraethol a phroffesiynol dwys yn y maes hwn ar hyn o bryd, nid oes amheuaeth y bydd y swyddi fydd ar gael i raddedigion sy'n arbenigo yn y maes hwn yn cynyddu ac yn dod yn fwy deniadol fyth yn y DU ac yn fyd-eang.

All our modules were fascinating especially our specialist modules. I think the standard of teaching is really high. I am impressed with the quality of professors, their qualifications, backgrounds and what they bring to academic environment based on transferring knowledge to us. They are so helpful and supportive. That is why we learned details of sustainability through the Mega-Buildings. We are provided with lots of opportunities by the school such as study trip, training, contemporary facilities and meeting with famous architects within the course. I am so satisfied by taking this MSc course for my career. It is the best course in architecture that I have ever seen.
