University of the Arts, London, BA (Hons) Architecture, 3 Year(s)

BA Architecture explores the spaces, places and buildings we inhabit.

Focusing on the relationships between the built environment, social interaction and material culture, we examine the role architects play in contemporary society.

This course is part of the Spatial Practices programme.

Architecture is always political it is first and foremost about people and our interaction with the world around us.

BA Architecture at Central Saint Martins is committed to socially engaged practice.

It promotes direct engagement with real-world social, cultural and political conditions in the contemporary urban landscape.

Buildings are only one way in which we intervene in the built environment.

The space of the city is charged and shaped through the interplay of multiple factors and tensions.

Engaging with these complex dynamics requires innovative design approaches.

These often encompass alternative forms of space-making.

Engaging with these complex dynamics requires innovative design approaches.

These often encompass alternative forms of space-making.

The course is underpinned by the idea that the human environment is alive with agency, as we shape our environment, our environment shapes us.

The practice of architecture has always been collaborative.

On this course, we rethink the profession and imagine roles beyond disciplinary limits.

Architects are increasingly called upon to design the integration of a broad range of practices.

These range from the arts to urban development and landscape design to engineering.

In order to bring these together into coherent ideas, architects must understand other practices while also effectively communicating their own.

On BA Architecture, we focus on the relationship between making and thinking.

We believe this is central to understanding the ways in which architecture can engage with a range of scales and practices.

On this course, we support the development of radical ideas, but also the radical potential of making and building.

As a student on BA Architecture, you will be treated as a young practitioner.

We will encourage you to develop your own critical and radical approach to architectural design.
