Practice-driven MA and PhD Programmes in Research Architecture
Goldsmiths College, University of London

Can spatial practice become a form of research?
Might the notion of architecture be expanded to engage with questions of culture, politics, conflict and human rights?

This new and innovative research centre brings together architects, urbanists, filmmakers, curators and other cultural practitioners from around the world to work collaboratively around questions of this kind.

In keeping with Goldsmiths' commitment to multidisciplinary research and learning, the centre also offers an alternative to traditional postgraduate architectural education by inaugurating a unique, robust studio-based combination of critical architectural research and practice at MA and MPhil/PhD levels.

The MA programme is for suitably qualified graduates from a range of disciplines wishing to pursue studio-based spatial research in the context of theoretical work.

The MPhil/PhD programme is aimed at practitioners of architecture and other related spatial practices who would like to develop long-span practice-based research projects.

The encompassing aim of research at both levels is to explore new possibilities generated by the extended field of architecture.
