건축학

영어권 국가 중에 건축을 공부하기에 영국만한 곳이 있을까 싶다.

100년이 넘는다는 건축물들이 현대에 그대로 쓰여지고 있고 건축과 더불어 도시계획, 보존까지 학문으로 잘 발달된 나라이기 때문에 건축학도라면 꼭 유학이아니더라도 답사여행이라도 한번쯤 소망하는 국가가 영국이다.

영국에서 건축가가 되기 위해서는 RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects)의 RIBA Part 1, 2, 3 자격증 시험을 각각 통과해야 한다.

영국대학교에서 3년 또는 4년기간의 건축학사 BArch를 마치고 건축학사를 취득하게 되면 RIBA Part 1 자격시험을 면제받는다. 그 후 1년이상의 실무 경력까지 더해지면 2년 과정의 건축석사과정에 입학할 수 있고 MArch 를 취득함과 동시에 RIBA Part 2 자격시험을 면제받게 된다.

그 후 또 2년의 경력을 쌓으면 RIBA Part 3 시험을 볼 수 있고 통과하면 ARB(Architects Registration Board)가 인증하는 건축가가 된다.

한국에서는 한국예술종합학교의 건축과만 현재 RIBA Par t1을 면제해주어 영국의 MArch석사과정을 바로 입학할 수 있었는데, 최근에는 일반 건축학사 자격으로도 받아주는 건축과가 영국에 늘고 있다.

건축학과 입학을 위해서는 다른 석사과정에서 필요한 구비서류에 포트폴리오가 더해진다.

포트폴리오는 너무 거창하고 두렵게 생각하지 않아도 되고 학부에서 착실히 해왔던 작업들을 잘 편집하거나, description을 잘 작성하는 것에 최선을 다하면 된다.

이미 건축학부를 졸업한 학생이 포트폴리오 준비만을 위해 학원을 다닐 필요는 없다.

Portfolio Advice

Kent School of Architecture

Your portfolio is an important part of the interview and admissions process in the school.  It should contain the strongest examples of your work as an artist or designer.  In many ways, your portfolio provides the prompt for much of the discussion during an interview, so it should be organised and tidy.  It is entirely up to you how you choose to organise your portfolio.  For example, the portfolio can be ordered chronologically or ordered according to types/styles of work.

As interviewers we want to see a broad range of examples of your skills and talents.  Please provide as wide a spectrum of these, whilst not repeating examples of techniques and styles.  Therefore, do not include too many sketches or drawings if a small selection will demonstrate your skill in a particular medium.

Your portfolio should include any media relevant to the course you are applying for.  This may include sketches, paintings, ceramics, textiles, photography, etc.  Any large scale work that you would like to show, but is too big to bring along, please photograph and document as part of your portfolio.  However, we are not just interested in skills alone.  We want you to use these skills to demonstrate your ability to observe, think and create.  We want to see:

  • Observational skills: Can you record and render a scene realistically?  Life drawing, still life drawing, urban/rural landscapes, etc
  • Artistic, conceptual, creative thinking: Can you demonstrate your design process from beginning to end of a project?
  • Analyses of colour, form and space

Please note that it is essential to demonstrate an aptitude for freehand and/or observational drawing. Portfolios which consist purely of design technology or 3D design work for instance may not necessarily meet our requirements.

We are receptive to the inclusion of digital work, whether time-based or static.  Please include any films or animations that you would like to show, but please notify us prior to your interview so that we can arrange equipment to view it.  Digital portfolios either online or on CD/DVD are also acceptable.  When sending digital portfolios to the school to be viewed outside of the interview process, please ensure that the all images/work is viewable and the files conform to standard formats.  All images should be saved in JPEG format and documents in PDF.
