Diploma in Environment Design (T46) East

Course details

Singapore and many other cities with urban communities face the same challenges of balancing sustainable development and liveability. We need designers who will understand the nuances of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design to create and design public spaces that are cohesive, relevant and liveable to ensure that the quality of life is not compromised.

The only one of its kind in Singapore, the Diploma in Environment Design offers a unique interdisciplinary curriculum that will engage and challenge you to explore the seamless integration of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design. You will be trained to design and shape the character of places by combining  urban landscapes like civic plazas and community spaces with building design, public spaces that will add value to people's lives.

To do that, you will be immersed in a curriculum that reflects the industry's current practices and needs. Work in teams and collaborate on 'live' industry projects for real clients and firms, with software and processes that are current and industry-relevant. Go on study trips to key urban centres like Hong Kong or Tokyo because there's nothing like learning from experience. You will learn how to think critically, strategise creatively, pitch and present ideas convincingly. By the time you graduate, you will be that new design para-professional that the architectural design community is looking for - one who is able to smoothly straddle the three core strands of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design.
