Typically, you will undertake design projects in a range of spatial, social and topographical settings, from the smallest residences and objects to complex megacities and events. The majority of the course is taught as a series of design projects in the design studio. This is complemented by lectures, workshops and studio events on the philosophy and history of architecture and design, technical and practical studies and professional practice studies on the role of the ethical architect in the commercial world.
