Environmental Architecture (MA)
The MA Environmental Architecture at the Royal College of Art challenges conventional architecture’s complicity in ecological collapse. The programme rejects greenwashing, and explores systemic change through research, ecological activism, and experimental forms of spatial intervention. Students engage with extractive landscapes, contested territories, and climate injustice—developing fieldwork in collaboration with communities and NGOs. More than sustainable design, the programme aims to reimagine architecture’s political agency in the face of climate breakdown.

Atlas of Mutations
Image depicting native Saharan plant species undergoing mutations from prolonged uranium exposure—generated using growth rate data from vegetation in comparable conditions, combined with mutation data from Chernobyl and Fukushima (including radiation dose-response effects). The simulations visualize projected genetic changes in Arlit (Niger) flora over a 60-day period.
