Description

The Building, Organisations and Networks module establishes a distinctive theoretical framework for the research and analysis of the relationship between architectural morphology, organisations and social networks in complex buildings such as schools, hospitals, offices and laboratories. This framework is brought to bear on the consideration of a range of contemporary, historical and cross-cultural case studies that explore themes such as emergent organisational behaviours, innovation and space usage patterns. An important component of the module is a programme of London-based site visits, which provide students with a range of examples to encourage them to reflect on the theoretical arguments and themes presented in the seminars.
