Architecture

Overview

The aim is to create an environment in which the student has access to and can draw from multiple perspectives and critical practices.

This vocational Architecture programme at University of Lincoln operates within a framework that satisfies the requirements of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Architects Registration Board (ARB).

Students may utilise laboratories and workshops to employ traditional model-making techniques, as well as digital fabrication technologies.

After successful completion of the programme, students may choose to progress to the Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Practice and Management in Architecture (ARB/RIBA Part 3) as a pathway to becoming a registered architect.

Features

Workshops and Demonstrations

There are extensive model-making workshops throughout the course, offering students the opportunity of making both full-size and scale developmental and presentational models using traditional workshop techniques, as well as digital fabrication facilities. This is complemented by a wide range of computer programmes and access to video and photography facilities for exploring spatial qualities and advancing technical competence.

Study Visits

Study visits are organised by the studios and may include project site visits, excursions to exhibitions, lectures, debates, cultural events, or meetings with professionals. At least one visit is organised each year within the School which is open to all courses and stages.

In recent years, groups have travelled around the UK, to Cambridge and Edinburgh, to European destinations including Brussels, Venice, Barcelona, and Paris, as well as further afield to India and Sri Lanka. In one study trip, students spent a week in Poland studying urban housing problems alongside a group from the Wroclaw University of Technology.
