Master of Architecture/Master of Urban Design

Overview

The Master of Architecture combined with the Master of Urban Design creates professionals who can design buildings, public and private spaces with an understanding of the city within the context of social, environmental and economic concerns.

The program aims to provide you with:

• a sustainable outlook with the ability to use new materials and technologies to create environmentally sustainable buildings;
• the ability to draw on studies within urban design to develop knowledge for the design of interconnected infrastructure for our towns and cities;
• a grounding in architectural history and theory and technology that leads to the creation of innovative architecture.

You will undertake a sequence of intensive design studios culminating in a research thesis. In the studios, students cover architectural design in the context of the creative invention of architectural futures, integrating aesthetic, technological, programmatic, environmental and social issues in the production of buildings and spaces.
