Overview

Students from the Architecture MSc program offered at Newschool of Architecture and Design select a track that determines their area of emphasis course sequence. There are two tracks: Neuroscience for Architecture and Healthy Urbanism.

Track I: Healthy Urbanism

There is a growing acknowledgement that the way cities and neighborhoods are designed directly impacts the health of residents, workers, and visitors. At the same time, many designers and planners fail to create healthy urban environments through lack of understanding, experience, and training. This track provides students with a grounding in the processes and design strategies that promote healthful cities.

Track II: Digital Architecture & Fabrication

The concentration in digital architecture and fabrication is open to graduate students who are interested in exploring, expanding, and/or deepening their knowledge and skills about buildings in both physical and virtual architecture, structure, and interior environments. With a strong emphasis on the state-of-the-art research in digital design and fabrication, computational programming for creative buildings and spaces to support the future of human activities and well-being, and nurture creativity, the studios will focus on complex architectural environments and the process of design assessment and optimizing of the elements and components of buildings and their spatial constituents. In these courses, topics such as human interactive spaces, intelligent façade design, structural investigation, spatial layout, mass and form typology, new smart materials, context-based shaping forces, as well as energy efficiency strategies, are thoroughly and systematically examined in an incremental but comprehensive manner with special focus on their impact on formation and reformation of the design solutions.
