This specialist course will give students a broad and creative education in the world of conceptual architecture. The course will focus on innovative and highly conceptual structures - architecture, spatial / interior design and environments.  We will be designing the world of the future and worlds for our entertainment/imagination... such as awe-inspiring towers, global bridges, future cities, underground habitation hives, transport structures for a new civilisation. Designs and outcomes will be for building proposals - but equally for games design, film/TV/Theatre production, futuristic visions and solutions to the habitation of our changing planet.
