Our school comprises the following disciplines: Architecture, Interior Design, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design. All have outstanding academic teams, established industry connections, and facilities, creating dynamic and rewarding learning environments at the undergraduate, postgraduate, and research levels.
RMIT Architecture is a platform for practice-based experimentation on architecture and the built environment. Our school provides an arena through which our students, staff and industry partners can come together and develop architecture and urban design propositions that respond to critical issues and challenges facing our world. We cultivate a culture of debate, difference and diversity. We believe that through this discussion new ideas, positions, techniques and models of architecture and urbanism will emerge.
RMIT Interior Design is concerned with the social, cultural, material, technological, and temporal conditions of the spaces we inhabit. Students address pressing global challenges relevant to interior design, examining the complex relationships between people, their environments, and other living entities through innovative studio-based learning guided by academic and industry leaders. We value imagination, creativity, curiosity, speculation and experimentation. We foreground critical thinking as a basis for design practice contributing meaningful impact through collaboration with our stakeholders, communities and networks.
RMIT Landscape Architecture addresses emerging global urgencies through design. We see our place in the university as a critical space for experimentation, advocacy, and capacity building. Our programs provide students with the space, resources and agency to test ideas and develop innovative solutions that shape just and resilient futures. Through design-led research and practice, we equip students to work critically and creatively in uncertain, complex contexts, positioning landscape architecture as a transformative force for environmental and social equity.
RMIT Urban Design addresses the future of cities through the medium of design. Our program works closely with the disciplines of architecture and landscape architecture while considering the challenges of cities globally. Through work in this field, we aim to develop a deeper understanding of how the discipline of urbanism can operate. Like all disciplines in the school, the design studio and project-based seminars are our key means of practice-oriented experimentation.
