About the course

The key themes of this course are site-writing, critical spatial practice, urban intervention and mediated environments.

On this course you will:

  • develop a strong understanding of appropriate research methodologies in art and design practice-led research, specifically relating to approaches to criticality, performativity and textuality
  • make ‘situated practice’ projects that are site-related – from physical installations to digital interventions and site-writings
  • deliver high-quality practice-led research to enable you to carry out future doctoral research in the field of situated practice

Programme summary

This pioneering course examines the fertile territories where the discipline of architecture cross-pollinates with the other creative arts. Students will make work that is situated physically and engages with contemporary social, cultural and political conditions.

Outcomes will combine media – comprising site-specific and performative installations, interventions, designs and events – that engage with their contexts and particular publics. Graduates from MA Situated Practice will be highly equipped to pioneer new forms of hybrid practice between art and architecture in domains of urban design, spatial design, event design, critical and theoretical writing, performance, and craft.
