Course General Description

Computation in Architecture is an international masters that explores the critical consideration of technology as a driver for thinking, forming and realising architecture. With specific focus on digital design, advanced modelling, smart sensing and robotic fabrication, the program fosters a dynamic, creative, intellectually rigorous and design-led environment that stimulates critical inquiry into issues of sustainability, site, structure, behaviour and architectural expression. The aim of the program is to develop expertise and situated knowledge in the concepts, technological trajectories and practices that will drive future practice. The masters Computation in Architecture is embedded within CITA: Centre for IT and Architecture, an internationally renowned innovative research centre examining computation, digital fabrication and design, and shares the centre’s resources, including an advanced suite of computational tools and state of the art research knowledge. The masters intersects with the centre through personal tutoring of individual projects, creative workshop intensives and presentations from internationally leading researchers and practitioners.

School General Description

KADK wishes to be internationally recognised as the leading Nordic academy within the fields of architecture, design and conservation. Its mission is to produce graduates armed with the knowledge to shape our future, society and cultural heritage, trained with a unique focus on research, practice and artistic methods. KADK’s graduates should be characterised by their awareness of how a special Nordic approach to form can be developed and transformed into new contexts. KADK wants its graduates to enter the world with analytical, methodological and artistic skills, which empower them to create, transform and preserve the society and culture of tomorrow. The curriculum is based on a combination of theory and practice. A substantial part of the teaching takes place at the drawing board and in workshops, as well as joint presentations and academic seminars between small units of teachers and students. In line with KADK's international vision, our students and staff develop their skills in constant dialogue with the international environment, ensuring that the quality of our activities is continuously improving.
