The Master of Architecture program is focused on appreciation of the significance of design, an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of the discipline and the vital importance of a close relationship with the landscape architecture profession. Additionally the interdisciplinary nature of practice is emphasised though close contact and shared courses with landscape architecture and urban design students.
This program will provide engagement with local and international issues, engaging students to learn about and participate in contemporary projects and debates about the environment, community, culture and society.
Program Structure
The majority of the teaching activities are based around the design studios which are now aligned with the schools research streams: History Theory and Culture, Design and Urbanism along with courses in advanced construction, structures and environmental studies. A new internship elective has been introduced for students to experience a working environment in an architecture firm in which to observe and apply their knowledge and skills for the degree. Other elective option also includes the offshore studio and other courses that have a community or professional experiential learning or engagement aspect.
Assessment
Assessment takes a number of forms including written reports and essays, short in class exercises, oral presentations. Formal examinations are not used for student assessment. A capstone architecture design project allows students to demonstrate their mastery of architecture through a significant supervised study.
