MArch Sustainable Architecture

The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) (Welsh: Canolfan y Dechnoleg Amgen) is a charity and eco-centre in Montgomeryshire, Powys, Wales dedicated to demonstrating and teaching sustainable development. CAT, despite its name, no longer concentrates its efforts exclusively on alternative technology, but provides information on all aspects of sustainable living.

CAT is open to group visitors, offers postgraduate degrees as well as short courses, and publishes information on renewable energy, sustainable architecture, organic farming, gardening, and sustainable living. CAT also runs education programmes for schools and visiting universities, businesses, community groups and any other group who would benefit for a visit to CAT to explore sustainability education. CAT is a membership organisation with a large and engaged supporter base. CAT’s Clean Slate magazine is a quarterly update on CAT’s work and wider sustainability education.
