Advanced Architecture (Computational Design and AI)

This pathway of the MA Advanced Architecture, focusing on Computational Design and AI, equips architects with expertise in cutting-edge computational techniques and artificial intelligence. Prospective students wishing to apply for this specialist pathway should select ‘MA Advanced Architecture’ in the online application form. You will then enrol on your chosen pathway when you register as a student. The programme examines the integration of data-driven strategies, parametric modelling, and AI-enhanced tools into architectural design, empowering students to develop innovative, adaptive, and sustainable solutions. Combining theoretical insights with hands-on experimentation, you will explore algorithms, simulation software, and machine learning to refine designs, enhance creativity, and tackle complex challenges in the built environment. Designed for students aspiring to lead in the evolving architectural landscape, this programme provides a deep understanding of how technology is reshaping design practices and the future of the industry. There are opportunities to take part in field trips and visit world-leading exhibitions and practices. You will also meet professionals from renowned architectural firms. Specialists from Heatherwick Studio, Foster + Partners and Zaha Hadid Architects are regular guests in our design reviews.
