The course provides an intensive and extensive education in advanced architectural design practice requiring participants to engage with architectural theory and practice. You will engage with the avant-garde, experimental and emergent in the discipline and adopt an innovative approach to architecture.
The course exploits digital technology to develop new aesthetic possibilities, analyse design problems, create innovative design solutions, and to resolve and communicate them. This emphasis on digital technology is also a vehicle that integrates a multi-disciplinary and experimental approach with the subject specific content of the discipline.
MA Architecture benefits from its positioning and relationship to allied creative disciplines within a suite of specialist postgraduate courses and the collaborative possibilities, cross fertilisations and synergies which come from working alongside and with disciplines as diverse as rapid prototyping, virtual environments, communication media and fashion.
You will develop an outward perspective, engaging with the architectural design profession and making full use of the resources and opportunities available in London. The course has a global view with students encouraged to engage with architectural innovation internationally and aims to enrich the student experience with options to engage in overseas field studies, and national and international competitions.
