The main research object of the MSc and MArch in Sustainable Environmental Design is the relationship between architectural form, materiality and environmental performance, and how this relation evolves in response to climate change and emerging technical capabilities. Sustainable environmental design is not a fixed ideal, but an evolving concept to be redefined and reassessed with each new project. Observation, measurement and digital modelling and simulation are fundamental techniques underpinning the programme's design research. The 12-month MSc option is offered to both architects and engineers. The 16-month MArch option is addressed to architects and teachers of architectural design. Its 16-month duration enables the exploration of detailed design agendas that can include the realisation of experimental structures.
