POSTGRADUATE STUDIES MSc in Urban Design WEB: http://www.strath.ac.uk/architecture/research/urbandesignstudiesunit

The Unit, led by Professor Sergio Porta and Dr. Ombretta Romice, is currently moving towards an interpretation of urban form and dynamics as layered manifestations of the complex relationships of mutual change and evolution, and this requires new ways of interpreting, representing and managing space. The Unit has developed International expertise on urban analysis from both a morphological and an experiential angle on Multi-Centrality Analysis, urban regeneration, sustainable transport and development, community engagement in design and Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE).



POSTGRADUATE STUDIES MSc in Architectural Design for the Conservation of Built Heritage WEB: http://www.strath.ac.uk

The proposed MSc in Architectural Design for the Conservation of Built Heritage is design and technically focused. The course will be orientated to architects and engineers, but could also include contractors, planners, urban designers and any applicant who could demonstrate familiarity and interest for historic buildings. The course leader, Cristina González-Longo RIBA SCA RIAS AFHEA is an academic, researcher and chartered architect specialised in architectural conservation, with a leading role in many well known projects such as Queensberry House, part of the Scottish Parliament complex. Cristina has also published widely and has created a new research group in architectural conservation.
