The Bachelor of Architectural Design positions architecture within the larger context of the contemporary challenges facing urban and regional environments across a changing planet.
The course embeds a focus on context – on the spoken and unspoken histories of place; on the social, economic and political systems that structure our built environment; and on the spatial practices, strategies and architectural solutions that frame our way forward.
Studios are the core of our architectural education and create a collaborative environment to explore design approaches through projects that respond to briefs, issues and different constraints. The studios in this exhibition represent a range of our approaches, addressing contemporary urban issues, including responses to the climate crisis; to housing inequality; to new ways of making; to challenges of ageing infrastructure; and to plural and deeper readings of landscape and country.
