Course info
The MA in Architecture and Critical Theory is a highly innovative interdisciplinary course that is jointly taught within the Institute of Architecture and the Department of Critical Theory and Cultural Studies. It draws upon the research and teaching expertise in both areas, and offers a combination of written and design-based components. The course examines contemporary debates in cultural studies, philosophy of technology, literary theory and continental philosophy - such as Marxism, phenomenology, structuralism, poststructuralism, postmodernism, psychoanalysis, gender theory and postcolonialism - and considers how these debates might contribute to the development of architectural theory and criticism. By exposing architectural discourse to these advanced theoretical methodologies, the course aims to strengthen and develop the tradition of theory and criticism in architecture. You will have the opportunity to work with students from other MA courses in several cognate areas, including the long established and highly successful MA in Critical Theory, in addition to Architecture, Politics, American Studies, Visual Culture and Film Studies. The MA in Architecture and Critical Theory also offers the possibility of continuing research up to MPhil or PhD level. This programme does not convey professional accreditation in the UK.
