Details will be posted here shortly, so be sure to check in, or simply subscribe to the blog’s RSS feed.

In the meantime, we’re very happy to be receiving our first round of applications to the program, just in time for our first deadline which is this Friday, March 19th.  Just out of the sheer assortment of applications, from very different corners of the world, we can already say we’re expecting to have  an incredibly diverse, stimulating group of people joining us in September.

Looking forward to our first deadline for applications to the MBIArch Post-Professional Master’s Degree Program this coming Friday, March 19th, we’ve posted an outline of the program contents on the BIArch webpage. We’ve managed to distill a huge amount of work and effort dedicated to drawing up the program and curriculum  into a single DIN A4 page (which you can download here). We’re also offering potential students a  first glimpse into the program’s five areas of interdisciplinary study: Architectural Design, Territorial & Urban Studies, Digital Media; Theory, History & Criticism; and Energy & Building Technologies. We’ve updated the information regarding other program highlights as well, including the Design and Critical Seminars, the Productive Land Program and the Optional Advanced Research phase. Please feel free to browse the contents of the program, and if you’re considering applying to the BIArch, make sure you go over our application requirements.
