Architecture and Urban Planning BA Honours (K190)

This degree offers a lively and thought-provoking introduction to important ideas about architecture and cities.

We place particular emphasis on the idea of ‘alternative practice’, inspired by the work of innovative architects and planners whose approach aims to encourage people to actively participate in the design of their environment.

You study topics such as:

• understanding sustainable development
• researching local economies
• understanding cities
• architectural and urban design 

We use design projects, historical examples, theoretical ideas and a live community project to support your understanding of how architecture and cities can be developed.
