Location of Kingston University
The context within which architecture is created has changed significantly in recent years, as have the ways in which architecture is practised. If you would like to sharpen your existing skills, develop the new skills and strategies necessary to keep up to date in the complex and diverse arena of architectural practice, this course is ideal. It enables you to take the time to re-inform and redefine yourself as an independent, competent and reflective practitioner.
Your primary learning environment is your practice environment, but you will also use scenario-based examples to extend and test your knowledge base and its application. You will examine and critically evaluate the ethical, social and economic basis of professional practice. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your own professional skills and identify areas for improvement or specialisation.
