Architecture at Dundee has a strong studio culture and a teaching programme which embeds the design studio at the heart of all teaching. Along with the disciplines of planning, geography and environmental science, architecture is part of the School of the Environment. This helps to position architecture as a negotiator between the built and natural environment, and to utilise creative design thinking in a way which promotes a sustainable future.
We have three primary concerns:
• The creation of responsive and sustainable architecture. One where beauty and meaning are expressed through a clear understanding of the means by which it is made and functions, serving the needs of individuals and expressing the cultural aspirations of society.
• The teaching of construction, structures, material grammar and environmental design is regarded as central to, and inseparable from, design teaching.
• The act of imagination which transforms the functional and material elements in architecture such that it may be discussed as communicable art.
We aim to educate resourceful and adaptable architects who are able to respond creatively and responsibly to the demands of a complex and changing profession. We achieve this by providing a supportive learning environment which fosters a spirit of independent enquiry and individual enterprise. This will be enriched by on-going research, all of which will give the students an understanding of the theory and purpose of the best design practice and the self-confidence to participate in it.
At various stages in the 5 year programme students are offered the opportunity to take part in study visits organised as an integrated part of the course work.
Recent study visits have included trips to Holland, Krakow and Berlin. Level 2 students may also take part in student exchanges with our partners in France, Germany, Poland and Australia.
We have an established student society ADAS (Association of Dundee Architectural Students) which is organised solely by the students and organises an extensive series of visiting lecturers from throughout the world.
