If the planet has a design problem, what do the terms design or architecture mean when they are applied to phenomena as varied as oceans, atmospheres, or farmlands and deserts.

The intensity of environmental change calls for new forms of knowledge production based on propositional thinking, especially design-based methods.

The Programme offers:

  • an intensive series of seminars, lectures, workshops, and symposia that cultivate new and experimental approaches to the discipline
  • a field-focused program of study
  • the opportunity to engage with live projects in sites of rapid and complex environmental change
  • help to establish a network of colleagues and mentors in London
  • access to a rich culture of radical and experimental interdisciplinary work at the RCA, a world-leading art and design institution
