One of the great things about the Centre for Alternative Technology is the sheer quantity of architectural and design features around the site.



Indeed, it’s a rare treat to see modern design juxtaposed with the rugged Welsh landscape.
All of our buildings, old and young, demostrate how ecological design pays attention to both form and function.
These buildings serve as practical exhibits which show ways that ecological architecture and design take care of both the environment and wellbeing.
We run a number of courses which are connected to design and architecture, varying from short courses on timber frame construction to a Professional Diploma in Architecture.
