MSc Architectural Computation

The Architectural Computation MSc course at UCL (University College London) is a full-time, one-year program for students with a keen interest in digital design processes. The course aims to prepare students for a future of design practice at the vanguard of architectural computation. Course Content: This course is designed to develop a comprehensive understanding of the field of architectural computation. It includes the study and application of parametric and generative methods, digital fabrication and construction technologies, and critical evaluation of the aesthetics and the social implications of such approaches. The course is taught through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, case studies, project work, and workshops. It includes topics such as Experimenting through Architectural Making, Generative Syntax, Computation and Fabrication, and Architectural Phenomena. Key Modules: Key modules include Architectural Computation Research Frontiers, Research into Practice, Design as a Knowledge-Based Process, Architectural Design: Experimenting Through Architectural Making and Architecture and Digital Theory. Accreditations: This program is also certified by the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Architects Registration Board (RIBA/ARB Part 2). Future Careers: Upon course completion, graduates can find opportunities in architectural practice, in roles related to digital design, fabrication, and construction. They can also progress to research and academia, teaching digital design processes and applying them in research projects. For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
