Course General Description
The two-year programme conceives of architecture as a diverse and complex set of practices that move beyond traditional distinctions and limits in the field. A radical and innovative approach to pedagogy and research, as well as a commitment to an open-minded, experimental studio-culture, sets the RCA apart.Disciplines
As MA students, the programme encourages you to pursue a personal line of enquiry during your time here. As a first-year student, you’ll work on a live project in the autumn term, and a studio project in the spring and summer terms that will also form the basis for the Technical Studies course. In the second year, you’ll take a number of units in the autumn term that will prepare you for the Independent Research Project. Second-year students work within the thematic and contextual frame of the ADS briefs, developing a clear research question that informs your design brief and design response for your thesis project.Requirements
