Engineering & Architectural Design

Unit Brief

Designed in close collaboration with industry leaders, Engineering & Architectural Design MEng combines the three major disciplines of architecture, civil engineering and building service engineering to teach future industry leaders. With the first cohort now completing their third year, this pioneering programme is crossing the professional, pedagogical and cultural boundaries between architecture and engineering to expand further the biggest ecology of all – innovative design.

Hosted by The Bartlett School of Architecture, the programme is taught by three UCL departments: The Bartlett School of Architecture, The Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering and The Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering.

Our first-year students operate within ‘co-operatives’ exploring this year’s theme of ‘Mine-the-GAP’, working within state-of-the-art fabrication facilities at Here East to explore and deploy 1:1 experimental infrastructures at locations of interchange to operate on a cultural, social and scientific level to both awaken people from their commute and test engineering principles.

Our second-year students work within ‘studios’ to develop original buildings as a space of environmental and structural mutability. Ideas this year explore and incubate in response to the theme of ‘Changes in State: Environment in Flux’ in Marrakesh, Morocco.

Our third-year students design within ‘units’ that operate as progressive laboratories to envision cohesive innovative building projects. This year Unit 1 was themed on ‘Stitch’ and Unit 2 on ‘Thorney Island Ecologies’.

Our fourth year, in which the programme will see its first graduates, begins in September 2020.
