Applying architectural design to city planning creates more humane and sustainable environments. A new kind of designer is emerging one who understands planning and architecture, while responding to people, context and sustainability needs. There is a high demand for highly creative architect-planners who are able to design from the scale of a door-handle to a city. The degree will build your creativity and develop your talent for finding solutions to a full range of realistic briefs. It will show you how to integrate technology seamlessly into design ideas and give you the confidence and skills to work in top architecture and planning practices. Gain broad-based knowledge and skills in architecture and planning. Work on conceptual and practical projects across different themes. Work on a six-week agency project in an architect's office, local planning authority, or other appropriate organisation. Collaborate with students across related disciplines in an approach reflecting industry.
