Course programme
You'll get to grips with the language of architecture as you apply practical and conceptual skills to develop user-centred design outcomes. You'll also look at community issues and explore the structure of how things are made.
Modules
- Place - Issues of locality, materiality and identity
- People - User-centred design and introduction to core skills of drawing/model making
- Community - Issues of collective living and working
- Structure - Exploration of how ‘things' work and are made
You’ll develop your technical and conceptual skills as you take on larger-scale design projects. On top of considering the environmental issues in sustainable development, you’ll explore 'housing' in the broadest sense. We’ll also encourage you to take on erasmus exchanges and placements.
Modules
- Context - larger scale design projects
- Environment - issues of sustainable development
- Habitation - 'housing' in the broadest sense
- Practice
Your independent exploratory project will test your definition of what architecture is or can be - supported by a critical and theoretical view in your dissertation. You'll then complete the course with a comprehensive major project highlighting all your skills.
Modules
- Independent Exploratory Project
- Dissertation
- Final Major Project
