3 Apply Architectural knowledge, skills and practices relating to the spatial and built environment in relation to people, cultures, environments and technologies.
4 Propose and test speculative built environment futures for abstract, real or virtual contexts through iterative methods of visualisation, fabrication and critique.
5 Formulate and justify Architectural positions on complex issues in the design of the built environment by drawing on a breadth and depth of disciplinary knowledge and methods of inquiry.
Career outcomes: Our graduates are known for their principled attitude and hands-on skills. They are also celebrated for their technological awareness, and their focus on creating environmentally and socially conscious design solutions.
