ARCHITECTURAL AGENCY & PRACTICE, exploring the crucial issues of architectural agency and its forms of social engagement.
DIGITAL ARCHITECTURES, including the use of computational techniques in architecture to produce solutions within material and social systems.
ARCHITECTURE & MEDIA, using innovative integration of different media in the process of architectural and urban design.
ARCHITECTURE & URBANISM, considering aspects of environmental concerns, infrastructure, policy, territory, reuse and appropriation.
All themes are considered in the contemporary transformation and expansion of the architectural discipline.
Your modules will help you to develop a conceptual and critical approach to the architecture project, while key modules will give you the option to choose a research (written) or a design pathway (design portfolio).
You will produce a focused research projects in writing, and through design projects using a range of media you will develop expertise in appropriate design research methodologies, skills, knowledge and critical judgement for the advanced study of architecture.
Using a series of case studies, you will identify and demonstrate new perspectives on existing knowledge and practice and will be expert in suggesting innovative solutions to a range of complex urban issues.
Suitable for graduates from a range of architectural and spatial or environmental design disciplines, this course is focused on education through strong research methodologies that inform research-led design and critical reflection. You will be encouraged and supported as you develop specialist knowledge in the landscape of architecture, spatial and interdisciplinary practice.
