Advances in the digital age have transformed design practice but we are only at the beginning of a greater revolution in the integrated application of technology and prototyping, from design through to construction.
Designing the Dynamic, 2011
Virtual and physical design prototypes to simulate complex trade-offs and support intuitive design decision making for dynamic systems in architecture and design.
Collaboration Partners RMIT SIAL, DRI, Architecture and Design with Hugh Whitehead (founding Director of the Specialist Modeling Group, Foster + Partners) and support from Memko Pty Ltd and BVN architects
40 student and practitioner participants
Dermoid III
Third iteration of the Dermoid project developed with postgraduate students from CITA, Copenhagen and RMIT looking at reciprocal frame systems for light weight long span using only small section engineered timber members. UDK introduced the active bending concept.

Taught within RMIT’s renowned Spatial Information Architecture Laboratory (SIAL), this unique Master by coursework program will prepare you to be a design leader in a rapidly changing environment. A primary objective of this program is to speculate on the future of design practice.
As innovation in spatial and architectural design practice is positioned at the intersection of several disciplines, this program would appeal to students from a wide variety of professions such as architecture and design, industrial design, computer science, engineering, media and sound design.
Design studios are based around the following themes:
— Designing Information Environments
— Designing Responsive and Adaptive Environments
— Spatial Sound Design and Urban Soundscape
— Digital Fabrication Construction and Advanced Manufacturing.
Career Outlook
Graduates may pursue many professional pathways including work in private practice, specialist consultancy to design practice, or high-end construction and development. You will be an expert in realising complex architecture; be able to integrate technology in spatial design such as sound, sensing and actuation; and be able to design virtual and sonic environments.
International Opportunities
Global intensive design studios are offered in Melbourne, Barcelona, Ho Chi Minh City and occasionally other cities in the world where SIAL has strong partnerships (destinations will vary from year to year). In addition to overseas workshops, the School of Architecture and Design has an extensive network of international collaborators in the USA, Europe and Asia. These include the World Architecture Workshop network in France and Japan, and ongoing exchange programs in Copenhagen, Berlin, Los Angeles, Innsbruck, Shanghai, Tianjin, Sendai, Toulouse and several other cities.
Industry Connections
SIAL has strong industry links to global leaders in architectural and engineering practice, technology companies and fabricators, and construction and industry bodies. Integrating this international industry expertise into the coursework is a key aspect of this program.
You will have the opportunity to solve real issues faced by organisations and will receive feedback from industry on the work you produce.
Teaching and Learning
This program’s flexible structure and combination of face-to-face and online delivery modes will suit working professionals.
You will work collaboratively with colleagues from a range of disciplinary backgrounds in a studio-based model.
The intensive design studios are each approximately 10 days long and will be held in both Melbourne and other cities in Europe and Asia (destinations will vary from year to year).
You will learn how to constructively critique your own work and that of others. Peer review is integral to the learning environment and subsequently, for professional practice within the creative industries.
Entrance Requirements
To be eligible for this program, you must have an Australian undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in any discipline. If you have an honours degree, graduate certificate or graduate diploma, you may be eligible for 1 semester’s credit, shortening the duration to 1.5 years.
For those with a Master of Architecture or Master of Landscape Architecture, you may be eligible for 2 semesters’ credit which would allow you to complete the Master of Design Innovation and Technology in just 1 year full-time or 2 years part-time. This will be determined upon application.
