Architecture and Urbanism (Taught)

The MA in Architecture and Urbanism builds upon UEL's legacy of world-leading form generation through computational design explored through the work of the University's late senior lecturer, Paul Coates. This involves using parametric and object-oriented design methodologies seamlessly with rapid manufacturing and visualisation techniques available within the school.

Whether you want to expand your field of expertise or deepen it, this unique one-year course will enrich your knowledge and enhance your career in the fields of computational design, design for digital and robotic construction, or urban design.

The course is aimed at architecture graduates wishing to specialize in advanced digital design processes, and at those within the 'built environment' - such as planners, engineers, or designers.

Along the course, computational design, design for digital and robotic construction, and urban design will be developed across the year following a common digital platform that simulates the state-of-the-art design processes in contemporary architectural practices.

The goal is to experiment with new possibilities for architectural spaces and cities connecting the design to advanced fabrication techniques and sustainable strategies in order to generate research leading to a secure impact in the industry.
