Global Studio KDA715

Launceston

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 coproduction 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.
