Introduction
Studios in the Master of Architecture emphasise professionalism, critical and rigorous design thinking, knowledge of contemporary and emergent theories, technologies and practices, and the development of skills for a diversity of future careers in architecture.
Global Studio explores practices of architecture in relation to human rights, social justice and community empowerment through projects situated in diverse social, cultural and ecological contexts. Projects target key areas of research opportunity, strength and connections to international communities, particularly in the Asia region. Through research and interrogation of complex global contexts, you will develop a capacity for critical inquiry, challenging normative understandings of place and the discipline of architecture itself. A key focus of the studio is the design of processes rather than products, emphasising engagement of participants in the co-production of architecture and the communication of outcomes to diverse audiences. Through studio-based participatory design approaches, you will gain skills in the development and procurement of supporting future practice in interdisciplinary and diverse community contexts.
