Master's Programme in Immediate Architectural Intervention, 120 Credits
About the programme
The master programme is structured around the idea of architectural intervention, explored in relationship to its duration and effects in and around the community where it takes place. While the program’s approach can be related to certain artistic practices, it is rooted in an understanding of spatial conceptualization and production as the architect’s most important skill. The programme explores the possibilities of architectural practices which conceive and articulate diverse processes of community development and transformation. The "sites" of these interventions in the public sphere are in general, not given, and their 'construction' includes involvement with other institutions, governmental agencies and other actors. The projects are often developed in non-western environments, which makes cultural understanding and research also essential to the programme.
