When an architectural problem needs solving, architects use biological and mathematical models to simulate the problem. Applying these algorithms to simulations allows architects to experiment with design solutions in a studio environment.
Modelling is crucial for us to create spaces that support the social and biological systems in society. Explore the natural and built environment, designing spaces to enhance these settings while tackling industry challenges, such as sustainability.
Designed in collaboration with the Centre for Print Research, MSc Computational Architecture blends architectural design with print and manufacturing. To date, UWE is one of the only universities in the region to deliver a master's degree in computational architecture.
This one-year course will introduce students to the latest computational design technologies. Gain core knowledge in computational modelling as they learn to simulate datasets and scripts.
Students will test their project proposals through fabrication and prototyping and apply their skills to real-world simulations. With experience in a design studio environment, students will be prepared for solving architectural problems in practice.
