Note: The Master of Arts in Adaptive Reuse Program is on pause. Please contact the Department of Interior Architecture for additional information.
As a post-professional program following a student's first academic degree in architecture, interior architecture or spatial design related disciplines the 45-credit Master of Arts in Adaptive Reuse offers a specialist design education in adaptive reuse. It establishes a clear aesthetic, theoretical and technological framework for the study of adaptive reuse that properly equips graduating students to engage in architectural practices.
The curriculum supports students in developing strategies that account for the importance of social and environmental responsibility, while expanding upon the designer’s understanding of reuse as a product of both practice and theory of the adaptation of the built environment.
