Course summary

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.The Masters is structured in three terms which will explore a holistic approach to digital architecture and urban design following the "systemic design" paradigm which uses advanced methods of concept generation, context analysis, programmatic control, and performance assessment to achieve a high level of multidisciplinary design coordination.You will explore digital design as a collaborative journey, learning how to control inter-disciplinary dynamics that are occurring in contemporary architectural practices and are the key to a successful design. Advanced 3D software and BIM processes will be taught and implemented as the backbone of the research.The course will be led by Dr Fulvio Wirz, MA Programme leader at UEL and former Associate at Zaha Hadid Architects with Barbara Zandavali (MArch at the Barlett School of Architecture) who will provide specialized support on digital fabrication processes.This course is ideal if you are a practitioner or recent graduate wishing to diversify your knowledge of built environment disciplines. It will:Help you shift your architectural practice into a new field or direction.Give you a better understanding of contemporary practice within European and global contexts and help you develop your critical design or writing and thinking skills.Offer you specialised expertise that could help to take your career in an upward, and perhaps different, direction.
