This catalogue is the first volume in what will become a yearly series of catalogues that document the output and endeavours of the BA and MA (Hons) Architecture programmes at ESALA, The University of Edinburgh. All courses on offer within these programmes are represented in this publication, presenting a shared ethos that touches on the many different dimensions of contemporary architectural education. These dimensions include – but are not limited to – design studios, histories and theories (both inside and outside the discipline), technological and environmental integration, professional practice and a series of focused elective offerings dealing with key specialist topics.
