About YouYou will be interested in creatively exploring notions of the future city with ambitious career aspirations and an interest in working collaboratively in a trans-disciplinary context.
Diverse undergraduate degrees are welcomed from the fields of landscape architecture, architecture, urbanism, digital futures, environments and policy. We welcome anyone interested design thinking and testing.
QUB EnvironmentBelfast and Northern Ireland offer a unique context from which to explore wider global themes.
The programme benefits from an extensive internal and external network of aligned institutions, practitioners, professional networks and industrial connections.
The studio draws on a diverse range of global expertise with an established network of external expert critics to guide your studies and expand your professional networks.
COURSE OVERVIEWWhat could net-zero carbon cities look like and how might digital technologies alter spatial occupation and use patterns? What is the future the high street, food production and tourism?
These are some of the questions explored in Future Urbanism - a leading-edge design research forum which develops, critiques and communicates ideas of place, environment, culture, technology and sustainability to define the limits of contemporary and future lived space.
Project-based studio work enables students to investigate and explore design responses to urban challenges including the climate emergency, productive landscapes, advanced digital communications and intelligent space.
Our approach blends situationally located fieldwork with on-site and on-line learning through applied design.
