Art, Space and Nature MA and MFA

The School of Landscape Architecture at Edinburgh College of Art offers an innovative postgraduate degree in Art, Space & Nature. It is configured to consider the interrelationships between various art and architecture disciplines to assert the values inherent in interdisciplinary collaboration. This will be articulated through methods, which explore the opportunities for collaboration, both speculative and practical. These include for example field studies and research, exhibition making in response to a variety of institutional and non-institutional spaces, involvement in international art projects, and studio practice.

In the last decade there has been a remarkable pattern of development in public art and architecture projects. There is a serious demand among both artists and architects to equip themselves with the essential experience and contact with this fast developing new interface in art and environment.

Students on the Art, Space & Nature programme are encouraged to be practising artists, architects, designers or landscape architects, who combine these skills in an interdisciplinary form. The programme has been designed to extend knowledge, skills and research in these disciplines at post-graduate level.

As such Art, Space & Nature is an operational field of overlapping disciplines engaging with both site and context.

FIELDWORK is a collective artwork initiated, edited, and produced by nine graduates of Art, Space and Nature. It is the first publication of A/S/N Mutual Press, a new imprint based on a micro-savings association by the group with the aim of co-producing future publications and projects.
