In January <strong>2019</strong>, a group of 18 students across the two cohorts of the<br />
MArch Des programme participated in a field trip to Singapore. The<br />
field trip provided students in the MArch Des programme with an<br />
opportunity to learn from built architecture in a key area of their study.<br />
The visit focused on sustainable technology as it impacts advanced<br />
contemporary high-rise construction. In preparation of the field trip,<br />
students researched specific buildings and acted as guides during the<br />
trip. Through the field trip, students were exposed to a more advanced<br />
level of sustainable construction technology, informing students across<br />
both cohorts in preparation of their more technically oriented second<br />
semester design studio projects. In addition, students were introduced<br />
to urban planning strategies forming the background to well-integrated<br />
high density urban development. The field trip offered a unique learning<br />
experience for both local and international students, with visits to NUS<br />
and SUTD complementing learning about applied design with increased<br />
awareness of architectural design approaches cultivated at leading<br />
universities in Asia.<br />
