This innovative programme explores a new area of intellectual enquiry. Increasingly, environmental legislation is being passed by governments as a result of a major shift in attitude towards the environment, and the new ways in which they operate upon it.
The need to consider the position of architecture at the start of the 21st century is as great as it was at the beginning of the 20th: the major shift in attitudes towards the environment, seen in the legislation passed by governments, leads to the obligation to re-think architecture’s practices and programmes. This MA addresses architectural responses to environmental issues and enables architects to apply this new thinking in their own practice.
The integration of environmental design with architectural and urban design practice is of ever-increasing importance. Architects equipped with these skills are increasingly in demand professionally in both the private and public sectors.
The programme welcomes applications from suitable candidates with an honours degree in architecture and/or RIBA Part 1 exemption, with a particular interest in pursuing theoretical studies in architectural and urban sustainability at an advanced level.
