Course content
In a world where established customs, systems and structures are increasingly unstable, we need a different kind of architectural thinking.
On M ARCH: Architecture, you will address the challenges of contemporary society through the built environment. This course is part of the Spatial Practices programme.
Why choose this course at Central Saint Martins:
- Centred in social justice and planetary wellbeing: The course engages with architecture as a social, cultural and political practice in service of planetary health and social justice. Addressing the climate and biodiversity crises holistically by exploring the entanglement between its multiple dimensions.
- Careful and collaborative: Teaching pedagogies promote collaboration, dialogue and care to build safe and equitable learning environments, which allow personal, lived experiences to become reference points for architectural enquiries.
- Applied and globally networked: An industry placement within an architectural/design practice will allow you to extend your industry networks and will give important insights into contemporary forms of spatial practice, working in the field of climate, social justice and civic architecture.
- Self-Directed and Professionally Accredited: The final Major Project supports the development of both individual and collective voices as spatial practitioners in the expanded field of architecture. The course provides you with professional accreditation from the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB) while supporting you to position your professional identity beyond disciplinary boundaries.
- Graduate Destinations: Our graduates work across the expanded field of Spatial Practices, including government bodies like the Greater London Authority, progressive design studios such as muf architecture/art, 00 Architects, JA_Projects, or system design think tanks like Dark Matter Lab.
