Why study architecture and planning?
Combining architectural design and city planning creates more humane, equitable sustainable environments and places.
A designer who understands planning and architecture, can respond to the needs of people, context and sustainability with effective tools to create processes and results.
There's a high demand for highly creative architect-planners who can design from the scale of a door-handle to a city and can work with policy to deliver the outcomes.
