Advanced Architecture (Computational Design and AI) MA

University of Liverpool

This pathway of the MA Advanced Architecture, focusing on Computational Design and AI, equips architects with expertise in cutting-edge computational techniques and artificial intelligence.IntroductionProspective students wishing to apply for this specialist pathway should select ‘MA Advanced Architecture’ in the online application form. You will then enrol on your chosen pathway when you register as a student.The programme examines the integration of data-driven strategies, parametric modelling, and AI-enhanced tools into architectural design, empowering students to develop innovative, adaptive, and sustainable solutions. Combining theoretical insights with hands-on experimentation, you will explore algorithms, simulation software, and machine learning to refine designs, enhance creativity, and tackle complex challenges in the built environment.Designed for students aspiring to lead in the evolving architectural landscape, this programme provides a deep understanding of how technology is reshaping design practices and the future of the industry.There are opportunities to take part in field trips and visit world-leading exhibitions and practices. You will also meet professionals from renowned architectural firms. Specialists from Heatherwick Studio, Foster + Partners and Zaha Hadid Architects are regular guests in our design reviews.Who is this course for?This master’s is particularly suitable for experienced architects or those from a design background who want to gain advanced technological skills, and how to apply these to architectural design.What you'll learnExpertise in computational design, digital fabrication and AI-assisted architectural designAdvanced design and technical skills, including parametric modelling and AI-powered toolsEnhanced concepts and theories in architectureApplications of research to architectural designInsights and innovations from leading professionals in architecture
