This module will be based on precedent studies: deconstruction of notable buildings to analyse holistically how they are designed, constructed and operated. Addressing a range of scales of urban and building infrastructure, it incoporates a series of site visits in London, visiting lectures from architects, engineers and facility managers, while introducing advanced engineering skills and architectural critical thinking of holistic design. Exploring building context. delivery, construction commissioning, maintenance and performance including urban energy, water, waste, transport, data infrastructure and other technical matters essential to make buildings work.

This module uses case study-based workshops to teach students the latest digital and graphical software and physical and digital fabrication skills. Students prepare a portfolio submission based on the workshops and are encouraged to be imaginative and innovative in their representational approaches.

This research module affords you the opportunity to develop the basis and theory that will underpin your work, which derive from science, cultural theory,...

The Spatial Cultures module is a theoretically-based module that introduces a series of key thinkers and important concepts intended to provide students with the theoretical basis for researching the relationship between society and space - with an emphasis on the urban scale. It draws on theoretical perspectives from a range of disciplinary domains, particularly from the humanities and social sciences, and explores the contribution each has to make to understanding society from an architectural perspective. It also turns the tables on these other perspectives to ask why is it that the organisation of built form is so often overlooked in the social theory of space.
