Architectural and Urban Design MA

Urbanism and urban design are ambiguous terms that surround and reflect both the physical and mental attributes applied to the built environment combining to form a layered knowledge of the city.<br/><br/>On this course you will examine these two sensibilities working across the disciplines of architecture, art and cultural geography, combining critical debate and creative practice to aid your development as a designer of future urban environments.<br/><br/>The course, based in the School of Architecture and Design, is highly experimental and aims to stretch your imagination and critical ability.<br/><br/>You will produce innovative portfolios and learn about the issues of global urban environments, expanding your knowledge beyond the usual subject boundaries.<br/><br/>Against Brighton’s vibrant, creative and diverse backdrop you will benefit from a supportive studio environment, two field trips and a variety of workshops and seminars, taught by active practitioners in architecture and urban design.<br/><br/>You will engage with research on the analysis of city spaces and lead your own projects, speculating as to how urban environments will evolve and be used in the future.<br/><br/>Take a look at our architecture and interior architecture blog which features student work from across our architecture courses.
