Course content

This programme trains future architects to become leaders of a construction industry capable of transformative and sustainable change. The Master's Programme in Digital Architecture and Emergent Futures is part of an emerging community of computational designers and is taught in close collaboration with the bioDigital Matter research group and the centre for construction robotics at Lund University. The programme seeks to equip future architects with insights and skills that allow them to take part in shaping a new future: to become designers, creators and changemakers. Trends in technology and culture alike are leading to rapid societal change, and complex patterns and relationships are an increasingly important aspect of professional life.

In this programme, students are trained to become transdisciplinary professionals that can uncover and engage complexity in the build environment and beyond.

The studies in Digital Architecture and Emergent Futures focus on emerging digital design processes that empower designers and are set to change the profession in profound ways. Students learn tools such as programming and parametric modelling and engage with digital fabrication methods including 3D printing and robotics. Through a multidisciplinary approach and research-by-design methodologies, the programme teaches, explores, and develops how to use such tools to become a responsible, proactive and accomplished architect.
