Overview

This programme pioneers a fresh and critical approach to architecture and historic urban environments at a world-leading architecture school.

Students work with leading historians, theorists and practitioners to offer creative solutions which enable historic urban environments to thrive, rather than just survive.

This Architecture and Historic Urban Environments programme offered at the University College London (UCL ) links the core research challenge of innovative design with in-depth processes of urban surveying, recording, mapping and analysis. As such, the programme has a strong international component, viewing cities around the world as fascinating laboratories for new ways of investigating and actively engaging with historic urban environments, with London being the prime example.

Highlights

Work with a team of outstanding designers, researchers and historians to develop creative approaches to historic urban environments

Develop a detailed understanding of urban surveying, recording and mapping, informed by field trips to world-renowned sites

Exhibit your dissertation or major project as part of the programme's annual exhibition

Careers

Graduates of this programme will be expected to assume leading roles in design disciplines engaged with historic urban environments at all scales using emerging design approaches and new technologies that are already changing our understanding of and response to contemporary building production and design in historic contexts. With experience of different cities and urban conditions in a global context, graduates are highly skilled in working flexibly and resourcefully in different cultural, geographic and professional enviroments.
