if Tisch, Dixie College of Art, New York University It is NYU's magic weapon, CMU Carnegie Mellon University Human Computer Interaction HCI GID is the top wisdom of both Huangyi RCA and IC Imperial Technology, MIT School of Architecture and Planning SA+P The MIT Media Lab under SA+P is the founder of "black technology" known as "real Hogwarts". Today we will take a look MIT Media Lab ！
MIT MIT School of Architecture and Planning Ranking
First of all, it can be seen from the QS world ranking that in 2016- 2019 World University Ranking MIT has been ranked No. 1 in terms of its unquestionable comprehensive strength, and is far ahead of all universities in terms of comprehensive score of 100 in all evaluation criteria.
Next, let's take a look at MIT Ranking of Architecture During the period from 2015 to 2018, MIT continued to rank No.1 in the world. Finally, in the 2018 Art&Design professional rankings that integrated all art and design colleges, MIT still rose to the fourth place among professional art and design colleges with a strong SA+P/architectural planning college!
All the above powerful data illustrate one thing: MIT SA+P is an unshakable power. I believe many people want to Apply for studying abroad in Architecture and Landscape Department The students of MIT SA+P have already set their eyes on this school. MIT SA+P can have such a standing position in many architectural colleges and majors. Compared with other world-class architectural arts colleges, it must have special advantages, AA Architectural Alliance College 、 UCL University College London ， MIT SA+P School of Architecture and Planning and Media Lab also have unique excellence.
Other British architecture and landscape schools
AA Architectural Alliance College
Due to the special nature, AA Architectural Alliance College can hardly be called as a college. As its Chinese name explains, it may be more accurate to call it "Architectural Alliance". Due to the unique nature of AA, its teaching setup is also full of particularity, and it is not divided into grades according to the form of first grade and second grade.
The students here, like the school, are full of design ideals and independent creativity in the field of architecture. AA Architectural Alliance College has always encouraged students to develop in the original direction, and also showed a high degree of foresight in the overall teaching. It seems that AA's teaching style and direction of creation guidance are always unpredictable, very avant-garde, and even "maverick". But if you look at most of AA's architectural landscape projects, you can find that, in general, the project research direction of AA Architectural Alliance College is more inclined to "multi possibility" exploration and divergence.
The "multi possibility" here refers to not only the possibility in the design of the building itself, but also the "multi possibility" in the form of architectural dimensions, design concepts, materials, structures, etc., so students can have a lot of free space for comprehensive research and exploration.
UCL University College London School of Architecture
UCL University College London, which is often confused with the UAL London University of the Arts, is also the most easily overlooked strong architecture school. UCL University College London ranked 10th in the QS World Comprehensive University Ranking in 2019, becoming a leading high-quality university.
As a comprehensive university with very strong comprehensive strength QS Architecture Ranking in 2018 China is second only to MIT in the world, and it can be said that it is the best among the British architecture universities studying abroad. "Architecture" is a very broad topic in UCL Bartlett University College London School of Architecture. The College does not advocate a certain architectural style, but rather a reflection and understanding of the dimension of "architecture".
At the beginning of the establishment of the college, the founders put forward the idea that the people who use buildings are "software", and the construction equipment is "hardware", which is the main part of the building. For architecture, we should adopt the mentality of "super architecture" and oppose restrictions and traditions. Any idea of freedom should be allowed to be realized in architecture.
MIT SA+P School of Architecture and Planning
Finally, speaking of today's leading role - MIT, MIT, as an almost impeccable university, has an important position in the world's architecture field, whether in its comprehensive strength or in the School of Architecture and Planning itself. MIT SA+P is a comprehensive, diversified and inclusive college. How do you understand it? The college is divided into the following units/departments, which are interconnected but independent and self-contained:
The screenshot is from the official website of MIT SA+P
Architecture
Urban Research+Planning (DUSP)
MIT Media Lab（ MIT Media Lab)
MIT Real Estate Center (CRE)
Arts, Culture and Technology Program (ACT)
Norman B. Leventhal Advanced Urbanization Center (LCAU)
Whatever the content of the above unit, the key core of MIT is all around the space between people and their environment. MIT has built a systematic and infinitely rich learning space for students with this diversified and layer by layer architecture. Students can think and research about "people" and "environment" in any dimension. At the same time, compared with the first two architectural colleges, the biggest difference of MIT is the height and extension of its teaching philosophy. Although it is a college dominated by architecture and planning, the school attaches great importance to interdisciplinary, interdisciplinary and cross-border innovation, and stresses the multi-level development of architecture, art, science and technology.
With multi-dimensional discipline consciousness running through research and creation, taking architecture as the core and starting from other professional fields, guide students to think more about the possibility of people and environment, which is the unchanged concept of MIT Architecture and Planning College. If there is any carrier that can perfectly implement and display the advanced consciousness of MIT, the answer must be MIT Media Lab.
MIT Media Lab
Media Lab, as a proprietary project MIT Media Lab, is known as "the forefront of social invention of black technology laboratory", "the birthplace of black technology", "real Hogwarts". Whatever its name, Media Lab is showing its strength to the outside world.
Here gathered the top interdisciplinary professional researchers from all over the world. This is the birthplace of Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, Barnes&Noble nook, LEGO Mindstorms, Biom bionic prosthetics, and induction airbag, g-speak， The origin of holographic digital 3D printing.
But the opposite is the "almost impossible" application difficulty. Almost all students must apply through Media Arts and Sciences of MIT SA+P. There are a large number of applicants from all over the world, but only about 50 places are open to master and doctoral students every year. The students who come here have professional backgrounds not only in architecture or planning, but also in psychology, bioengineering, human-computer interaction, electronic information and other majors. It can be said that this is a laboratory with the most top minds.
As stated on the official website of MIT Media Lab: doing things that conventional wisdom says can't or shouldn't be done
MIT Media Lab, the picture is from the official website
MIT Media Lab is an interdisciplinary research laboratory dedicated to the integration of technology, media, science, art and design. Its mission is to "create a better future". With an annual research fund of 30 million dollars, 75% of the research funds are sponsored by more than 100 companies around the world. There are more than 30 research groups, and more than 400 experiments and projects are being carried out. All teachers and students here are interdisciplinary scholars, and this is the real birthplace of miracles.
MIT Media Lab, learning in such a high-end black technology lab, is a desirable thing, but you may not know that as early as the beginning of this year, Natural Light has reached a low-key long-term cooperation consensus with MIT Media Lab, and held a licensing ceremony. The first phase of students involved in the project has also completed their study, Successfully returned to China and has begun to prepare the application! Now, the natural light × MIT Media Lab invites more students to start the journey in the world's most eclectic MIT Media Lab!
Natural light × MIT Media Lab
Urban Data and Morphology Lab
MIT has always been committed to finding capable young people around the world, relying on multi-directional creative thinking and advanced ideas and views, and focusing on research and creation to create the future. This coincides with the concept of natural light. We focus on the artistic development of each student, and more on the inspiration of unlimited potential and the immeasurable future, Go deep into the MIT Media Lab, and in the Urban Data and Morphology Lab, not only field study, but also participate in project research and R&D, project exploration and academic discussion with professional researchers and MIT teachers and students.

Natural light × MIT Media Lab project highlights:
Common ideas forge long-term cooperation consensus
MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology Bold awareness and inclusive attitude have made Media Lab a rare gathering place for top talents in the world. MIT encourages students to think with advanced thinking and awareness, to devote themselves to creation with the most solid and divergent ideas, to commit to profound research, and also to pay attention to life research and development within reach.
MIT's emphasis on students and its consistent philosophy are closely linked with the teaching belief of natural light. We are willing to use our own strength as the beginners of exploration to provide all art students with higher quality and hard core teaching opportunities, as well as an irreplaceable practice project participation platform.
This time, Natural Light joined hands with MIT Media Lab to start a new journey. This joint cooperation is not only a unilateral choice of Natural Light, but also a proof of our recognition, and also a witness of our shared ideas. Long term cooperation, with more opportunities to bring students a broader future.
Full immersion experience and multi choice project
Unlike the usual study tours or cooperation projects in the past, this collaboration with MIT Media Lab is a witness hand in hand. The purpose is to provide opportunities and platforms for more visionary and thinking young people in China to bring about the most extraordinary improvement with more sophisticated resources.
MIT Media Lab, the students involved in this project will go deep into the MIT campus and carry out scientific research discussions with the instructors, graduate students and doctoral students of the Media Lab Urban Data and Morphology Laboratory.
This is different from any project practice of "participation experience". Together with the top students of world-class universities and industry elites, we will create the most eye-catching miracle. In the professional fields of architecture, urban planning, landscape architecture, etc., scientific research is carried out on the frontline in the form of systematic thinking, personal discussion, comprehensive discipline dialogue, etc.
Urban Data and Morphology Lab
UMDL, a city data and morphology laboratory affiliated to Media Lab, is committed to Exhibition of architecture, urban planning and design, landscape architecture, system thinking To solve the impact of environmental upheaval, create projects, establish issues, actively transform the real society, work together to learn from each other's academic experience and achievements, and actively explore the future development direction. And redefine the concept of urban design, use interdisciplinary cooperation practice, and use the most advanced analytical methods and tools to meet the current challenges.

Background improvement with the most competitive advantages
The growing demand for art study abroad is accompanied by the growing difficulty of application. In the application for art study abroad, high-quality collection of works for study abroad can determine the success rate of your art study abroad application, while the background of high quality and deep connotation can become a 100% bonus.
This project is jointly guided by natural light and MIT. Students will enter the MIT campus, go deep into the Media Lab, learn from MIT tutors, do projects practically, understand themselves in the project, develop and create value, improve their comprehensive ability, and increase their enrollment competitiveness.
Up to now, the first group of students who participated in the project have returned to China and officially started to apply. Some of them have extended the design topics they have carried out during the project as the theme of their portfolio and submitted their applications.
Students who want to sign up for MIT Media Lab come to find natural light to sign up! Note: Students applying for this project must participate in the review, and can only join the project after passing the review.
This cooperation with MIT is a new and broad attempt of natural light, and also a brave step forward on the road of art study abroad; At MIT, "city", "architecture", "environment" and "human" are open topics with no standard answers, "sustainability"+unlimited expansion.
Natural Light International Art Education has opened seven campuses in Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Zhengzhou and New York, and there will be more in the future, but we will always act as the media and support, giving all students who choose to travel with us more possibilities and unlimited speculation. Finally, MIT Media Lab is open for registration. Join us!
