The research areas: Architectural Design - The programme encourages the development of architectural research through the combination of designing and writing. Students present a thesis consisting of a project and a text that share a research theme and a productive relationship. The project may be drawn, filmed, built, or make use of whatever media is appropriate. Architectural History and Theory: The range of research topics undertaken is broad, including historical studies of Western architecture and cities post-1800, with particular focus on the 20th century; architectural thought and aesthetics; the history of architectural and urban space; critical theory and architectural history; cities and their representations. Architectural Space and Computation: With its empirical base, the programme is aimed at researchers seeking to advance knowledge by studying the relations between spatial patterns and social outcomes, and between architectural design knowledge and computation. Our graduates find employment in a wide range of careers as built environment professionals as well as in academia, government, public service, policy formation and media worldwide.
