Course Overview

The Master of Architecture (MArch) RIBA Part 2 course at LSBU promotes a studio-based culture that encourages debate and inquiry about contemporary societies, the postmodern city, and relationships between urban and landscape conditions. These are considered through a range of innovative and personal responses to architectural design projects; environmental and constructional technologies; critical research expressed in extended, dissertation writing, and the skills needed to operate as a progressive professional practitioner.

Our various design studios offer their scholarly programs and positions appealing to a wide and diverse range of interests. The design modules offered are underpinned by taught modules in History and Theory; Energy and Resource Efficiency in Architecture; and Professional Practice and Technology.

This course will see you build on analytical design skills and professional competencies established at the undergraduate level, with a focus on innovation in design, construction, and resource-efficient technology. Our dedicated studio spaces and digital workshops are designed to support peer group conversation, thus enabling students to develop an understanding of methods relevant to contemporary professional practice, together with an ability to produce complex and diverse design proposals.

Overall, the Master of Architecture course is intended to engage critical thinking through design, by helping students develop their problem-solving skills, on prescient issues of environment, politics, society, economics, and culture. This plethora of challenges all form our studio conversations.
