Architectural Design

Overview

Learn in an environment that is similar to a cutting-edge architectural design firm. Through your core and elective subjects, you'll have the opportunity to focus on your drawing, 2D and 3D design skills, and will be surrounded by like-minded creatives. 

You'll combine both experimental and speculative design with practical projects, and engage with real-life industry projects to expand your knowledge and help you discover innovative approaches to problem solving.   

Learning from internationally-recognised and award-winning architects alongside visiting national and international experts, consultants and specialists, you will explore the core skills required of an architect and architectural designer. 

As a student in the Architectural Design program at RMIT University , you will be immersed in new ideas and perspectives that will develop your design and communication skills. 

Learning intensively in small groups, you will have the opportunity to work intensively on one project throughout the semester. In your studios, you will have the opportunity to develop skills in drawing, 2D and 3D design in an environment that follows the best practice of a local or international design firm. 

Run by academics and leading members of industry, design studios provide a unique way of exploring ideas by challenging future designers, and allowing them to connect with peers, industry, and other disciplines.

Career

The program is a stand-alone award that provides employment options for those who seek to work as an urban designer, in architectural practices or as a designer more generally, in roles that do not require professional registration.
