The MArch Architecture program is designed for graduates who have earned a BA in Architecture and typically gained a year of professional experience. This curriculum combines studio work (with integrated technical components), a dissertation, and professional studies, making it perfect for those eager to examine diverse viewpoints on modern architecture and urban design while preparing for careers in sustainable urban development. The studio component is organized around research-focused groups known as ateliers, where teams of three faculty members collaborate based on shared research interests. Through seminars, workshops, and symposiums, you'll refine your critical perspectives. The program offers a variety of ateliers and specialized knowledge, ensuring multiple meaningful avenues for exploring architecture and urbanism's evolving role in broader cultural discourse. At the start of each academic year, you'll select an atelier, usually committing to it for the entire year.
