Course Content
Year 1
Introduction
Core Units
Research Methods is an opportunity for you to explore techniques and processes that
inform design as a spatial practice in architecture and urbanism.
A seminar series delivered by the students exploring the history and theory of architecture
and urban design, using key texts identified by the Unit Leader.
Studio A
This unit is the first in a series of Studio Units, it forms the basis for a design thesis project
during the programme of academic study. It typically explores issues in the design of
cities, urban space or urban scaled architecture. This unit will engage with urban
environments and/or ideas connecting local and global issues and opportunities
Studio B
This unit is the second in a series that form an academic design thesis project. It typically
builds upon the findings and themes established in Studio A. This enables you, through
discussion with the studio tutorial team, to identify and refine project opportunities at a
variety of scales that respond to the urban condition in both local and global situations, to
nominate and agree a situation within which the thesis project will be developed and
executed.
Studio C
This is the final unit in a sequence that forms an academic design thesis project. It
typically establishes formal and operational aspects of the proposition and includes an
investigation of significant interpretative strategies that are critical to the thesis. It typically
communicates final resolution to professional presentation standards and includes a
critical study in a significant aspect of the realisation of the project.
Dissertation
This unit provides the opportunity to explore, substantiate, communicate and disseminate
the research trajectory of a written thesis in architecture and urbanism through the media
of an extended piece of disciplined academic writing. Academic writing is supported
through the highly structured and intensive tutorial programme: Dissertation Bootcamp.
This is designed to provide personalised academic training in the production of high
quality written outputs.

Estudio A
Esta unidad es la primera de una serie de unidades de estudio y constituye la base de un
proyecto de tesis de diseño durante el programa de estudios académicos. Por lo general,
explora cuestiones relacionadas con el diseño de las ciudades, el espacio urbano o la
arquitectura a escala urbana. Esta unidad se ocupará de los entornos urbanos y/o de las
ideas que conectan los problemas y las oportunidades locales y globales.
Estudio B
Esta unidad es la segunda de una serie que forma un proyecto de tesis de diseño
académico. Normalmente se basa en los resultados y temas establecidos en el Estudio A.
Esto le permite, a través de la discusión con el equipo de tutoría del estudio, identificar y
refinar las oportunidades del proyecto en una variedad de escalas que responden a la
condición urbana en situaciones locales y globales, para nominar y acordar una situación
dentro de la cual se desarrollará y ejecutará el proyecto de tesis.
Estudio C
Esta es la unidad final de una secuencia que forma un proyecto de tesis de diseño
académico. Suele establecer los aspectos formales y operativos de la propuesta e incluye
una investigación de estrategias interpretativas significativas que son fundamentales para
la tesis. Suele comunicar la resolución final según los estándares de presentación
profesional e incluye un estudio crítico en un aspecto significativo de la realización del
proyecto.
