Design and Make is based at the AA’s satellite campus at Hooke Park, a rich context which serves as an immersive laboratory for architectural research. Students study within a working forest, inhabiting a unique environment in which landscape, studio, workshop, forestry and 1:1 fabrication are interwoven. The landscape, as both material library and site, is critical to the design process and our experimental constructs are nested carefully into the tissue of the working forest. Design and Make investigates the sustainable and innovative use of timber and other locally sourced materials to drive new forms of architectural research through 1:1 built prototypes. We materialise built work through curiosity, craft and creativity. Direct physical engagement with material, site and making processes is central to the programme and we thrive on the unexpected revelations this can bring.

The MArch in Architecture and Urbanism is a 16-month programme of full-time study. The tuition fee for the programme is £42,816, which is paid in the first year of study.
