Overview

Key facts

The Environmental Architecture programme at The Glasgow School of Art is based on the research strengths of the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit (MEARU) and benefits from informed teaching through engagement with live projects.

The programme

The programme offers balanced academic and practical content. Students explore the latest developments in environmental design theory and practice; and there are also opportunities to participate in on-going MEARU research projects. Students will work within an architectural school with a well-established design culture, and within a specialist research unit providing key research skills.

Programme Structure

The core content is structured to provide students with an intellectually intense experience in the contemporary issues of theory integrated with the practice of design of sustainable and healthy built environments.

Project-based learning and case study models enable students to develop real world learning skills and experience. The dissertation/design thesis at stage 3 provides a vehicle through which candidates will be supported to become masters of their selected subjects of interest.
