Master Interior Architecture: Research + Design (MIARD)
The two-year full-time Master Interior Architecture: Research + Design (MIARD) invites qualified candidates to apply for a core tutor position in Critical Strategies. The profile of the candidate is one who identifies with—and can push forward—the multi-disciplinary, research-intensive and self-directed approach of the program. We seek a multidisciplinary practitioner and educator whose work expands across visual studies, architecture and/or art theory, who has a background in architecture (or whose practice has a strong architectural component grounded in spatial thinking). We are looking for someone who can place urgent issues affecting our built environment in relation to expanded ideas of the interior, architecture and design. Moreover, the nature of the course requires a practitioner who is experimental and considers research and writing as an exploratory practice.
