This course focuses on transforming architectural spaces into exciting, sustainable environments through the creative application of critical thinking and innovative design. How you learn All our courses are designed around a set of key principles based on engaging you with the world, collaborating with others, challenging you to think in new ways, and providing you with a supportive environment in which you can thrive. Through studio-based learning and live projects, you'll gain a deep understanding of design culture and practice. You'll learn how to create innovative and sustainable designs, engage with a variety of architectural spaces, critically reflect on projects and develop your own personal approach. In the first ‘induction’ module you’ll learn to work confidently and creatively with a wide range of different materials. In the second ‘project’ module you’ll be taught by tutors from the BA (Hons) course supported by foundation tutors. You'll learn through:
  • studio-based design projects

  • specialist software sessions
  • applied industry (live) projects and collaborations with industry professionals
  • group work and collaboration
