About Architecture
Architecture is a social art. To be an architect is to be able to analyse people's needs and hopes and resolve them in space and form. Architects design buildings and also the space between the buildings. Architects work for the client who pays their fee but also for all the people who will use their buildings later. Architecture requires creativity and also judgement. Architectural education develops the talent of each individual student, encouraging you to use your imagination while working in a team with other people.
Our Architecture programmes are recognisable by their ‘hands-on’ approach to architecture, working with the physical exploration of materials and the processes of site and context. As a counterpart to our preoccupation with the physical, the school also has a number of dedicated Computer Studios which explore more theoretical and virtual models of architecture. Programmes provide a cultural platform on which to develop Architectural ideas. It is a place to reflect, a place that enables the architectural idea to become critical. Every member of the School community is expected to take responsibility for their own work and to contribute to the development of innovative architectural Ideas.
