This program fosters architectural research by merging design and writing. You'll submit a thesis comprising both a creative project and written work, united by a common research focus and mutually reinforcing connection. The project can take any suitable form - drawings, films, physical constructions, or other media. This PhD initiative promotes architectural investigation through the innovative integration of design and written expression.
The Architectural Design thesis combines creative works and written components that explore a shared research topic while maintaining a synergistic connection. Projects may involve various formats - from visual representations and written analyses to films and built structures, selected based on their relevance to the research. By combining diverse investigative approaches, the thesis highlights how drawing, writing, and construction creatively interact to advance novel architectural concepts and methodologies.

A minimum of an upper second-class UK Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard, in a relevant subject, is essential.
