Specialist areas you might choose to focus on in your projects could include climactic design, urban revitalization, and renewal, advanced retrofit, localism, transport infrastructures, urban or rural landscapes, or specialist urban analysis. You can work with interesting heritage and sustainability questions, engage with contemporary technology and traditional crafts, as well as explore digital and ‘real’ space. You will have access to advanced forms of fabrication and testing, the latest scanning and VR technology, and a suite of traditional craft-based workshops, all of which will allow you to bring your design proposals to life, and help launch you to potential higher-level urban design and planning careers.
