The programme is interdisciplinary and sits within the Institute of Technology in Architecture (ITA), bringing together architecture, engineering, computation, digital fabrication, robotic construction, building systems, structural design, and related research areas.
Successful applicants will join one of the participating professorships, such as Architecture and Digital Fabrication, Architecture and Structures, Structural Design, Digital Building Technologies, Architecture and Building Systems, Construction Heritage and Preservation, or Architecture and Human Augmentation. Applicants are expected to identify the professorship most aligned with their research proposal and state this clearly in the application.
