Course Highlights
Do you want to study a programme at the intersection of architectural practice and research? Apply for the Master's Programme in Digital Architecture and Emergent Futures!
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.
After completion of the Master's programme in Digital Architecture and Emergent Futures, students will be ready to work as architects. Students gain the skills to work with architectural design, using their knowledge in computational tools to work with tasks typical of the profession. In addition, alumni will have the expertise to work as specialist in computational design at architectural practices and elsewhere. The programme’s emphasis in interdisciplinarity and innovation opens possibilities for students to work in many types of organisations, in Sweden or globally. Furthermore, students will be equipped to continue to doctoral studies at research centres across the world, with a solid footing in computation, writing and research by design.
Course Modules
Learning Structure
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.
Lectures, surveys, workshops, studies on site, inventories, seminars etc. are integrated pedagogical tool in the programme. Studies on site may be combined with study trips. The study trips are optional,students participate at own expense. Students who cannot participate will be given alternative assignments. Study trips and destinations vary. Examples of a previous destinations are Spain, United Kingdom, Switzerland and Marocco. The School of Architecture strives to primarily use sustainable means of transport when arranging study trips. Study trips may be subject to cancellation/alteration due to force majeure or visa denial.
