The aim of the course is to extend design skills within a rigorous creative studio environment and provide the opportunity to explore architecture as a response to the contemporary city.

During this course, you will develop an understanding of the role of social science based theory, knowledge and approaches within awareness of social science research methods and their utilisation within specific projects involving multiple participants and involving a variety of methods and tools. You will also develop an awareness of multi-factor analysis of the research data arising from such research methods and its role within the design process.

This course aims to demonstrate ownership and autonomy through self-directed exploration and individual creative expression within an environment of professional and peer-critique; to understand and deploy the design process as the synthesis of research, analysis, development and critique within the context of contemporary design practice; to evidence the value of design in response to a given opportunity, problem or context; and to produce both tangible design outcomes and communication to a professional level where their value to business, society and industry is explicit.
