We undertook our annual research visit to the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) for this semester's Gdes3003 Green Design group in Oct 2022. Always a fascinating visit students were able to explore the site and listen to CAT lecturer Paul Allen talk about Zero Carbon Britain and it's linkages to their assessed brief for the Worcester Wildlife Trust too.
Students were clearly quite affected by the experience and passed back (this below) feedback on the bus back to the university:
"(CAT) was really interesting and I learned a lot from there, the site was amazing with all the natural materials and the architecture."
(CAT) "Was a great experience, I was able to explore and learn throughout the day. Will definitely benefit from the visit for the future (design project).
"Very interesting day, eye opening to see the direction the planet is heading in. Enjoyed it a lot!"
"I really liked seeing all the different ways the found out how to save energy.."
"It was a very different and unusual experience, the architecture was so inspiring.."
"All staff and volunteers at the site are clearly genuinely passionate and want to show their knowledge".
"CAT is a very interesting place and (it was) an enriching experience. I'm glad organisations like this one exist".
"Very interesting renewable energies and a magical environment!"
"The trip to CAT was a very unique experience: from the views, the inspiring architecture to all the economical resources and crafts. I believe that a carbon free (world) is something I'm gonna consider more in the future. The seminar was really helpful for the (University) brief, eye and (mind) opening. I'm really grateful for today."
"In my opinion the trip to CAT was really essential. Findng out differet ways for saving energy and living carbon free was definitely something to consider for our future. I've taken important and key notes with photographs which were really helpful for the (university) brief".
