M Arch: Architecture in University of the Arts London

The accelerating impact of climate change and biodiversity loss dramatically question the established roles of the architect and architecture’s relationship with the economic, political and social systems within which it operates. These systems are often built upon continuous growth, demanding extractive and resource-depleting practices which enshrine social and environmental injustices further into the built environment. While the course provides you with the professional pathway toward registration as an architect, it also questions that professional role: how can we move from a position of complicity to one that actively helps to regenerate the environment?

Care and ethical awareness is a central concern of this course; it shapes the way we work and learn, emphasising positive social relations of support and collaboration. Care informs the way we articulate our roles as emerging spatial practitioners through empathy, allyship and dialogue. Care underpins the way in which we intervene in the world, using regenerative design methods to actively restore and renew the places and systems we impact upon.

M ARCH: Architecture breaks open dominant teaching practices in architectural education by creating dialogue between students and practitioner-educators. Our pedagogies centre on your lived experiences. The development of your subjectivity is foregrounded, which creates a more inclusive and safer space where issues such as race, gender, equity and intersectionality are discussed and can become central to design projects.

Through collaboration with local users and contexts, we aim to empower stakeholders (human and non-human) to become active agents in development. We collaborate with other disciplines in the College and external partners. The art school setting provides a rich and multi-disciplinary learning environment from supporting you to critically respond to these challenges through research, knowledge exchange and design interventions.
