The certificate in public interest design offers students the opportunity to gain an understanding of the built environment such that it might add value and focus to a major degree as well as enrich an LTU education in general. The certificate curriculum advances socially responsible design ideas and skills. Coursework covers methods, theories, principles, practices, policies, and implementation strategies in public interest design.
The program consists of three subject area components: introduction to community development (theory focus); public interest design, design ethics, and adaptive reuse and rehab (practice focus); and urban studio (design strategies).

This course aims to expand the discipline of architecture by challenging the traditional definition and boundaries of the profession of architecture, and by exploring alternative design practices. The course will consist of a series of seminars where students will investigate the background, types, benefits, goals, theories, principles, methods, and values of public interest design practices and research (PIDPR); and a workshop where students will propose alternative practice models through real-world application, collaboration with local stakeholders, and global PID online exchange forums.

This interdisciplinary course examines the processes and issues of adaptively reusing historic buildings and structures. The conceptual underpinnings and practical applications of adaptive reuse are explored starting with an immersion in nineteenth and twentieth century theoretical writings which form the groundwork for the origin of the contemporary historic preservation movement. The course is organized in three modules, equally studying the theory, practice, and policies of preservation and adaptive reuse. These modules will inform a parallel semester long student project investigating how to creatively reuse and adapt an existing historic building.
