Environmental Architecture
环境架构

The MA Environmental Architecture programme aims to expand the scope and content of design-led research in the field of architecture, environmental studies and territorial management. Possible areas of inquiry can include: sustainable forms of urbanisation; concepts of stewardship and care for nature; environmental change and its effect on migration and settlement patterns; climate justice adaptation to land use practices; impacts of resource extraction on ecosystems; environmental impacts of the energy transition; post-development and degrowth; indigenous struggles for land and environments, among many others.
环境建筑硕士课程旨在扩大建筑、环境研究和领土管理领域以设计为主导的研究的范围和内容。可能的调查领域包括：可持续的城市化形式;管理和关爱自然的概念;环境变化及其对迁移和定居模式的影响;气候正义适应土地使用实践;资源开采对生态系统的影响;能源转型对环境的影响;后发展和去增长;土著人为土地和环境而进行的斗争，等等。

Students on the MA Environmental Architecture programme will have the opportunity to pursue a degree within a leading art and design institution, and to access the rich culture of radical and experimental interdisciplinary work at the Royal College of Art. Moreover, the programme will help students to establish a network of colleagues and mentors by offering them the opportunity of connecting to leading figures in Environmental Architecture both in London and internationally through an innovative practice mentorship scheme.
环境建筑硕士课程的学生将有机会在领先的艺术和设计机构攻读学位，并在皇家艺术学院接触激进和实验性跨学科工作的丰富文化。此外，该计划将帮助学生建立同事和导师网络，通过创新的实践导师计划，为他们提供与伦敦和国际环境建筑领军人物建立联系的机会。

Media Studies I (15 credits)
媒体研究 I （15 学分）

Situated in the School of Architecture and welcoming a student cohort from across multiple spatial design disciplines, Media Studies provides a rigorous and granular examination of historical and contemporary methodologies of media practice and research. Our collective goal is to increase critical engagement with media. We achieve this through lectures, tutorials, and workshops in which new approaches to media are conceptualised, refined, and implemented in innovative proposals and projects.
媒体研究位于建筑学院，欢迎来自多个空间设计学科的学生群体，对媒体实践和研究的历史和当代方法进行了严格而细致的检查。我们的共同目标是增加与媒体的批判性互动。我们通过讲座、教程和研讨会来实现这一目标，在这些研讨会中，新的媒体方法被概念化、提炼并在创新提案和项目中实施。

研究工作室 II：环境干预（15 学分）

In Studio II you will develop a design intervention strategy for the site explored in term 1. Emphasis will be placed on the definition of outputs, in relation to key project aims and stakeholders.
在工作室 II 中，您将为第 1 学期探索的场地制定设计干预策略。重点将放在与关键项目目标和利益相关者相关的产出定义上。

Working in groups within your Research Studios, you will propose an intervention strategy for the case studied in term 1. The strategy should be articulated in the form of a design brief, including its aims and objectives, scales of intervention and key stakeholders. You are expected to work in relation to multiple scenarios rather than a single proposition, and to consider the project's different phases of implementation.
在您的研究工作室内以小组形式工作，您将为第 1 学期研究的案例提出干预策略。该战略应以设计简报的形式阐明，包括其目的和目的、干预规模和主要利益相关者。您需要与多个场景而不是单个主张相关工作，并考虑项目的不同实施阶段。

A core element in this unit is the understanding of potential externalities such as conflicts between stakeholders or changes in the environmental, political and economic conditions that structure the project. You will be asked to consider local populations, NGOs, advocacy groups, governmental bodies or others that might be currently operating in the context of your project. You will be asked to critically explore modes of representation and communication in relation to the different forums where the project might take place. A combination of one-to-one, small and large group tutorials will be conducted regularly between students and staff. Specialists and invited experts will also contribute depending on each unit’s research interests and sites.
本单元的核心要素是理解潜在的外部性，例如利益相关者之间的冲突或构成项目的环境、政治和经济条件的变化。您将被要求考虑当地居民、非政府组织、倡导团体、政府机构或目前可能在您的项目范围内运作的其他机构。您将被要求批判性地探索与项目可能进行的不同论坛相关的代表和交流模式。学生和教职员工将定期进行一对一、小型和大型小组辅导的组合。专家和特邀专家也将根据每个单位的研究兴趣和地点做出贡献。

Seminar II: Critical Future Scenarios (15 credits)
研讨会 II： 关键的未来情景 （15 学分）

Seminar II: Critical Future Scenarios is delivered in a blended mode.

Paradigmatic cases, concepts and tools will be introduced through lectures and seminars with guests, complemented by weekly student-led roundtables. Students will engage in a series of world-building exercises, exploring the possibilities of mapping and counter-mapping as both a reflective and propositional practice. Students will be asked to collectively discuss written work on a bi-weekly basis and will present work orally in the mid-term critique. Midway through the term a writing workshop will help students to start developing their end-of-term written submission. The end-of-term submission consists of a work blog which will be accompanied by a critical reflective ‘metalogue’.
研讨会 II：关键未来情景以混合模式提供。该单元将通过关注情景规划的不同技术和概念，加深您对当代环境建筑的理解。将通过与客人的讲座和研讨会介绍范式案例、概念和工具，并辅以每周由学生主导的圆桌会议。学生将参与一系列世界构建练习，探索映射和反映射作为一种反思和命题实践的可能性。学生将被要求每两周集体讨论一次书面作业，并将在期中评论中口头展示作业。学期中期，写作研讨会将帮助学生开始准备他们的期末书面提交。期末提交包括一个工作博客，该博客将附有一个批判性的反思性“金属学”。

The weekly design studio is the core of the MA programme. Work in the studio is organised individually and in small student groups (2–4 students), and teaching is conducted during weekly group tutorials and pin-up presentations.
每周一次的设计工作室是 MA 课程的核心。工作室的工作是单独组织和以学生小组（2-4 名学生）的形式组织的，教学在每周的小组辅导和海报演示中进行。

The design studios introduce the pedagogy of the programme, provide you with design skills and research methodologies to analyse case studies, while assisting you with the formulation of research and design proposals. The teaching model combines written and design components, as both are considered essential practices in the generation of a disciplinary ecology. Currently, the programme features three design studios, each exploring architecture’s potential contribution to communities and organisations engaged in territorial disputes and resource extraction: 
设计工作室介绍课程的教学法，为你提供设计技能和研究方法，以分析案例研究，同时协助你制定研究和设计方案。教学模式结合了书面和设计部分，因为两者都被认为是生成学科生态的基本实践。目前，该项目由三个设计工作室组成，每个工作室都探索建筑对参与领土争端和资源开采的社区和组织的潜在贡献：

Environmental questions are rarely far from contemporary public debate.
环境问题很少远离当代公共辩论。

Climate change, global warming, global forest fires, and extreme weather events, mass species extinction, the pollution of our air, seas, land and rivers, not to forget the pollution of our own bodies and food supplies are all daily headline news in print and televisual media.
气候变化、全球变暖、全球森林火灾和极端天气事件、大规模物种灭绝、空气、海洋、陆地和河流的污染，不要忘记我们自己的身体和食物供应的污染，都是印刷和电视媒体的每日头条新闻。

How should we think about these questions within a school of architecture?
在建筑学派中，我们应该如何思考这些问题？

Seminars require constant engagement and involvement by students in course material selection and preparation, collective discussions and oral presentations.
研讨会要求学生不断参与课程材料的选择和准备、集体讨论和口头报告。

Past guests include: Susan Schuppli, Pedro Neves Marques, Adrian Lahoud, Lindsay Bremner, Nabil Ahmed, Nikos Katsikis, Shela Sheik, RIVAL, Zannah Mae Matson, Andreas Philippopoulos-Mihalopoulos, Phineas Harper, Imani Jacqueline Brown and Professor Aran Chadwick.

本单元使学生能够探索建筑师如何从当代和历史的角度传达思想。这包括一系列跨越学科、意识形态和方法的媒体。

Students will use both analogue and digital technologies to understand better how a designer creates, interrogates and manipulates spatial environments.
学生将同时使用模拟和数字技术来更好地了解设计师如何创造、询问和操纵空间环境。

This investigation will take place in a critical context, which explores how images are used to manufacture socio-political ideologies and negotiate public identities.
这项调查将在一个关键背景下进行，探索图像如何被用来制造社会政治意识形态和协商公共身份。

A practice mentorship programme connects students to a network of practitioners through regular meetings taking place in Term 2 and 3, who will introduce you to different types of practice and career issues. You will have the opportunity to meet with different practices representing a variety of possible professional pathways that you might be interested in after completing your studies. In doing so we hope professional practices and organisations might have a foundational role in your development.
