How it compares
Master in Computation in Architecture is one of 5 English-taught Architecture programmes at Master's Degree level in the register, offered by 3 institutions. 5 of them list an annual fee for students from outside the EU, EEA and Switzerland, from EUR 6,500 to EUR 9,000; this programme lists EUR 9,000 a year. 5 are recorded as free for EU, EEA and Swiss students.
What you will study
Computation in Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy looks at how modelling and fabrication technologies shape the way architecture is thought, formed and built. The programme is run by the Institute of Architecture and Technology and is taught in English in Copenhagen.
What you study
The programme focuses on three areas: advanced and generative modelling, living and bio-materials, and robotic fabrication. You use computation to address questions of resource, circularity, performance and architectural expression. The teaching is design-led, with 1:1 prototyping and research knowledge feeding into the studio work. The aim is to question, take risks and think synthetically about what computation can do for architecture.
How the programme is organised
It is a two-year master's programme starting in September. The programme is linked to CITA, the Centre for Information Technology and Architecture, which explores the meeting of architecture and digital technologies. Graduation projects show the kind of work students do, for example Shaping Soundscapes: Graded Biofoam for Architectural Acoustics, Functionally Graded Lamination of Reclaimed Wood, Meet... A Hygromorph! and Re-Print.
Who it suits
This is for you if you want to work with computation as a design tool and a critical lens, not just a rendering aid. You should be curious about materials, fabrication and how buildings perform. The programme welcomes a diverse international student cohort and values creative, independent thinking.
