Introduction
The three concerns underpinning everything we do at Lancaster are:
Future Practice
Issues such as future cities and rapid urbanisation, changing societal and family structures and patterns of working, new materials and accelerating digitalisation necessitate a new kind of architectural professional, equipped to address such challenges.
Digital Crafts
Digital fabrication, agile production, rapid prototyping, disruptive technologies, advanced manufacturing, learning by doing, and the maker movement: our students will not only be familiar with these ideas but will also go on to become future pioneers.
Climate Emergency
Addressing the climate crisis is an imperative. Climate change will be seamlessly integrated into everything we teach, and we will strive for it to become utterly normalised so as to be part of our everyday conversation in the studio, all the time.
