The subject of Architecture, Form and Design focuses on the actual creation of architectural form in which architecture is understood as a spatial material practice that generates social, cultural and ideological meanings. The subject forms a significant part of the instruction on the Architecture programme but we also conduct research and artistic exploratory projects within art and design. Our outward-facing activities are an integrated part of our work, which is expressed through exhibitions, teaching collaborations with other cultural departments and publication in non-academic contexts. Several of us are architects or artists with our own commercial practices outside academia.
