The Adaptive Architecture and Computation MSc provides a comprehensive understanding of the skills required to create generative, emergent and responsive forms, through exposure to real programming environments. Taught by architects and experts in artificial intelligence, students benefit from studio sessions with tutors who have experience of research in this field. What and how will I learn? On completion of the programme, students will be able to use computational techniques in architecture, understand and predict the consequences of their design actions through computational processes, integrate their predictions into the design process, and carry out self-sufficient research into new methods and processes. Degree Structure Students undertake courses to the value of 180 credits. The programme consists of seven core courses (120 credits) and a built environment report (60 credits). A Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits, full-time nine months) is offered. Core Modules Computational Analysis Computational Synthesis Embodied and Embedded Technologies Applied Architectural Research Morphogenetic Programming Digital Studio Digital Ecology Dissertationreport All MSc students submit a 10,000 word report related to the main themes of the programme, typically involving the development of an interactive installation or a system to improve the design process. Options All courses are compulsory. Further details available on subject website: http:www.bartlett.ucl.ac.ukgraduateprogrammesmsc_beaac_overview.htm The programme is delivered through a combination of lectures, workshops and seminars as well as individual and collaborative projects. Assessment is through unseen examination, coursework (including 3000 word essay, learning log, digitally fabricated piece and documentation, short video piece, and physical piece with video documentation) practical exercises and the dissertation. Why should I study this degree at UCL? The Bartlett is the UK's largest multidisciplinary Faculty of the Built Environment, bringing together scientific and professional specialisms required to research, understand, design, construct and operate the buildings and urban environments of the future. Located in London, it is at the heart of a large cluster of creative architects and engineering firms, next to the UK's seat of government and finance and has all the resources of a world city to hand. The new architecture coming out of the Bartlett is characterised by a high level of invention and creativity. The school is internationally known as a centre for innovative design. Your future career After completing the programme, most graduates go on to join leading architectural and engineering practices, either directly with design teams or with specialist modelling groups. First destinations of recent graduates include: Smart Eon Construction, Space Intacts, Prosper and Partners, Foster and Partners, Aedas Architects Ltd, 3D Reid, Squint Opera: 3D-Web designer, RTKL, G and L Architects, HOK, Zaha Hadid Architects and KPF Associates. Alumni have also joined (or founded) cutting edge emerging digital design practices such as United Visual Artists or Moving Brands, or moved into academic research. Entry Requirements The normal minimum qualifications are a second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an equivalent standard overseas qualification. A second acceptable qualification is corporate membership of one of the following UK professional institutions: the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) and the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI). A third acceptable qualification is a degree of lower than second-class Honours standard or an equivalent overseas qualification in a subject appropriate to the programme, plus extensive field background an
