Harness technology to shape remarkable built environments.
Architecture mirrors the world around us: it’s a built record of human ingenuity. In today’s era of rapid global change, technology can empower architects to be a creative, positive influence on our built heritage.
On this hands-on, design-led course, you will learn to do just that. You will fuse architectural design and construction technology, with a strong focus on sustainability and environmental thinking. You’ll develop the skills required to simulate, model, design and test architectural technologies through real-life design challenges – both in your studies and on site at a collaborative building project.
Working with BA(Hons) Architecture students and peers across the University in a professional studio setting, you’ll develop a creative and critical perspective on the built environment, and discover how technology is essential when shaping the future of architecture.
Choosing between a three-year course and a four-year course with a professional placement, you will engage with industry through project-based learning, preparing you for an exciting career supporting architectural and design-led practices through technical and digital expertise.
