The course focuses around three themes:  

Sustainability
Encompassing regenerative design, consideration of the environmental, human and ecological impacts of materials and construction, and recognition of the need to design for a changing climate and in ways that mitigate harm and promote care.  

Social impact and community
Consciously challenging our projects in relation to the social impacts they carry and the positive change they can bring.

Building an understanding of our individual power and responsibility to be a force for good, while taking care of our own community of learners, educators and collaborators. 

Interdisciplinary practice
We believe the future of cities requires designers who have a breadth of understanding across scales and who can interweave a range of ideas and interests in collaboration and co-creation with other disciplines.

Our courses, students and educators share common ground across the spatial and built environment, finding richness in the cross-pollination between their own specialisms.
