MA Architecture

Validated by City University London

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.

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.

What will I learn?

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.

Advanced practice in architectural design is underpinned with a thorough understanding of existing and emerging legal frameworks, planning issues and developing management practice in the built environment. Participants will engage with current debates in relation to natural and economic sustainability, the contemporary and future urban fabric, the social and cultural contexts of new built form and the ethical dilemmas which impact on architecture in the 21st century.
