On the Design for Manufacture MArch course, you will study in an interdisciplinary environment, learning and collaborating with leading experts across architectural design, civil engineering, computer science, architectural computation, environmental and performance design.
Through hands-on exposure ranging from establish craft to emerging technologies such as robotics, 3D scanning, and digital fabrication, you will learn to ground design thinking through production. Using cutting-edge design and developing production skills, you will study in a collaborative environment that encourages cross-pollination of ideas and methods, enriching both your individual and group work.
You will be immersed in production methodologies advancing design and manufacturing processes and technologies, including robotic fabrication and assembly, 3D printing, CNC milling, waterjet cutting, 3D scanning, and laser cutting. Under the guidance of expert tutors and practitioners, you will be supported to explore new design methodologies, material systems, and construction techniques.
The hands-on, collaborative, and interdisciplinary experiences you will have throughout the course are purposeful. They are designed to help you develop the design intellect and empathy needed to recognise and You will be working from early-stage design phase to final production and delivery where design consequence shows itself across the many disciplines involved and supported.
The course offers a collaborative and practice-led environment, where you will work alongside interdisciplinary academics, designers, and industry practitioners to develop your own innovative approaches to making.
