Summary
The MA Environmental Architecture at the RCA is a design led, field focused programme that expands the scope of architectural research by exploring alternative forms of co-dependency between life forms and earth systems. Through long term, community engaged research studios situated in frontline environmental contexts, you work alongside activists, NGOs, academics and local stakeholders to address resource extraction, climate justice and ecological transformation. Seminars on topics such as "Metabolic Rifts" and "Critical Future Scenarios" complement design interventions, while your independent research project enables you to develop speculative, evidence-based architectural proposals grounded in critical ecological thinking.
