Teaching team

Block reutilitzable
Body

Out of all our lecturers, 79% are active professionals in the field of architecture who work on real-life projects outside the classroom, and in some cases, from their own studios. This direct contact with professional architectural practice allows them to share their day-to-day professional experiences with their students, as well as divulging what the industry is really like. Similarly, many of our lecturers are also well-respected researchers and experts in fields such as robotics, biodigital architecture, humanitarian design and accessibility, which reinforces the multidisciplinary nature of our students’ education.
