From 1:1 prototyping of physical spatial interventions to the integration of VR and AR in concept development, this programme challenges you to reimagine the potential of neglected spaces and existing buildings. You will work within a vibrant, open-plan studio culture that mirrors the collaborative environment of professional design consultancies, ensuring you are not just studying theory, but actively crafting environments that respond to human, social, economic, and environmental needs.

The curriculum places a heavy emphasis on "adaptive re-use," encouraging you to view the built environment as a living, evolving resource. Whether you are modelling at a small scale or constructing full-size prototypes, the programme facilitates a deep understanding of how design impacts mood, wellbeing, and sustainability. You will benefit from:

• Industry-linked projects: Collaborate with partners like Vitra, John Lewis, and Foster Associates to build a professional portfolio before you graduate.
• Cross-disciplinary collaboration: Work alongside diverse design disciplines in shared studio spaces, fostering a realistic approach to modern, multi-disciplinary design practice.
• Technical versatility: Gain access to expert-led workshops ranging from traditional wood and metal fabrication to advanced digital manufacturing and immersive technology.

A Focus on Real-World Impact

This course is designed for those who want their creative work to bridge the gap between abstract architectural concepts and tangible, everyday human experience. By focusing on the "space between object and architecture," you will develop the agility to apply your skills across sectors including public realm design, furniture, exhibition spaces, and sustainable urban regeneration.
