About Monash Architecture
Embedded within Monash University — Australia’s largest research-intensive university and a member of the prestigious Group of Eight — the Department of Architecture is a globally connected community of more than 800 students, 50 international faculty, and 100 sessional staff. We offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in Architecture and Urban Planning and Design that engage the city of Melbourne, Greater Australia, and the Indo-Pacific region as living laboratories for design research.
Our research and teaching converge around some of the most urgent issues of our time: advancing housing and social justice, innovating construction processes for accessibility and affordability, addressing the challenges of informal settlements and environmental repair, radically reducing carbon emissions and energy use, and imagining new spatial, technological, and cultural futures for the planet. Over the past five years, architecture faculty members have secured more than USD 12.5 million in competitive research funding, supporting both cutting-edge traditional scholarship and creative practice based research.
Through our distinctive model of creative-practice impact, the Department of Architecture at Monash University tackles the major challenges facing society today with innovation, impact, and criticality. Our work is animated by a belief that architecture can be an agent of change—shaping a world that is more just, sustainable, and beautiful.
