Course summary


OVERVIEW

BA (Hons) Architecture is prescribed by the UK Architectural Registration Board (ARB Part I) and is the first step towards a successful career as a registered architect or in a related profession. The programme is organised in four streams:
• Design studio
• Technology and environment
• Cultural context
• Professional studies. The first year focuses on ‘Creation and Imagination’ (Arch1a), followed by ‘Building, Dwelling, Thinking’ (Arch 1b). The second year focuses on ‘Architecture and Strategy’ (Arch 2a), which is then critically and intellectually developed in ‘Architecture and Ideology’ (Arch2b). The third year widens it scope to ‘Architecture and The Public Realm’ (Arch 3a), to produce the ‘Integrated Architectural Project’ (Arch3b) in the second part of the year.


KEY FEATURES

- Develop your ability to perceive, conceive, and make architecture through a series of carefully designed and sequenced projects/studies - Discover how tangible and intangible aspects of architecture are visually and verbally studied, recognised, communicated, appreciated and critically appraised - Explore creativity freely while acquiring the skillsets to function as an independent architectural designer - Design objects, settings and space, enabled by technical and environmental design and supported by consideration of factors and forces that have significance and impact - Engage with notions of space and place, question the architectural object and explore architecture as ordered space through design projects - Integrate tangible with intangible design qualities and demonstrate an ability to holistically integrate the various discrete skills - Design collaboratively in a technical/environmental design project, to develop shared skills, learning and approaches to climatic technical design - Explore networks in design, the humanities, professional studies and technical/environmental studies and consider the frameworks and paradigms that determine architectural output - Create a Research Report that engages critically with current architectural and cultural theory - Produce a collaborative project culminating in a creative proposition for an urban sector or city - Complete an integrated design project that addresses overlapping agendas and issues present in the contemporary metropolis


YOUR FUTURE

By the end of your degree, you will have gained a set of transposable skills to meet or exceed the assessed benchmark for exemption from ARB Part I examinations, and achieve a readiness for professional, or other pathways. Our close links to the profession will give you an opportunity to meet and learn from our regional partners, including Feilden+Mawson, Purcell, LSI Architects, Hamson Barron Smith and Hudson Architects. Architecture graduates have been selected for RIBA East Awards, the TRADA University Challenge and the Design and Craftsmanship Awards.
