Architecture

UCL (University College London)

Architecture BSc offers students a wide and diverse range of experiences so that they can develop an independent, creative, experimental and rigorous approach to design. Students are guided towards discovering their own architectural vision as well as working collaboratively within a vibrant and exciting culture. Year 1 is centred on design studio projects which develop the central skills of observation, design process, critical thinking and representation, emphasising individual and collective expression of ideas through drawing, portfolio, modelling and 1:1 making. Year 1 initiates and introduces students to ideas of citizenship and the role of the architect within society.This is complemented by lecture-led explorations of the history and theory of architecture, the making of cities and the built environment, the climate and technology, as well as a field trip in the second term.In Years 2 and 3, design projects are developed in a studio environment by joining a Bartlett Design Unit. Design Units are communities of approximately fifteen students led by experienced design tutors. Each design unit has a specific architectural agenda allowing you to develop personal architectural interests and to work with architecture in relation to subjects as diverse as craft, film, history, philosophy and science.
