BA (Hons) Architecture – Stage 3
Professional Practice
In the third year of the BA, the Professional Practice curriculum shifts emphasis towards the future of practice and our graduating students potential role in the profession and society as whole. We look at current projections in the future of practice and explore working practices which are currently blurring disciplinary boundaries, thus encouraging students to consider wider potential futures than those traditionally attributed to the architect’s professional role. At the same time, through workshops and lectures and the CSM/ RIBA London Mentoring Scheme, a key feature of their third year, we aim to assist and prepare students for a coming year out in an architectural and design related practice. The mentoring scheme provides students with the opportunity to ‘shadow’ a leading member of a practice; discovering the role of an architect in a variety of different contexts. Live projects such as Making Week are integrated into the professional practice curriculum enabling students to engage with, reflect upon, and develop collaborative working practices in the studio, the workshop or, in the case of our extra curricular live projects, outside of the College. It is our hope, that students who graduate, having studied architecture at Central Saint Martins, enter the profession prepared not only to work within it, but also to challenge and redefine it in the future.
