Art & Architecture offers possibilities for artistic, theoretical and critical reflection and making connected to a specific theme related to urban issues and phenomena. The aim of the course is to create an international forum for discussions on art, architecture, philosophy and societal issues to stimulate new forms of production and collaboration. The course also offers a year of artistic and theoretical inspiration. It gives the participants a broad overview of, and a contemporary orientation in, the theme for the year. At the same time, the practices of the participants are examined in relation to the theme.

The course is aimed for artists, architects, photographers, journalists, curators, cultural scientists and other professionals within the fields of art, architecture and urban studies. Lectures with follow-up seminars are arranged one day a week. In between these lecture/seminars individual study is conducted through the reading of texts. Every year a study trip (1 -2 weeks) is conducted which includes lectures, site visits and meetings with local individuals and groups.

In connection with the course the students are encouraged to continue their studies at The Royal Institute of Art in a subsequent, full-time project term. In this optional term the participants collaborates in a group project consisting of individual contributions, which can result in a publication, exhibition or other forms of presentation.
