Dear Sir/ Madam,

I am a young architect and my passion in architecture is driven by the art and design that is influenced by
the cities and its society who live in it. I find that it is interesting when the architecture is not only shaped
by the building itself, but also the elements of social network, organization, and human interactions.

For me, architecture, as a part that forms urban aesthetic, is always an expression of sensitivity to the
culture and society. Today, the culture and the society’s way of life develops so fast due to the revolution
of the digital industry. Thus, it is important to develop a new method with progressive approach to solve
innovative issues in creating an experimental space. As a future architect, I want to participate in this
progressive era to shape the best cultures in design and architecture for social innovation through an
artistic, technological, and analytical approach. This motivates me to keep learning so that I can spread my
methods and my ideas, talk, and discuss on the architecture all over the world.

To continue learning in the field that I am passionate about, I find that Royal College of Art (RCA) will be an
ideal place for me as RCA is one of the most fascinating school in London with a big community that
enhances the world. Thus, RCA will enhance my skills as well as extent my scope of architecture through
the global environment.

After reviewing the educational programmes on RCA, I am really excited to apply on MA: City Design
Programme (City Design). As I know City Design propose a unique multi-scalar approach in the artistic ways
that respond to the burgeoning need for contemporary city design. It is important to me to be at institution
that can give me opportunity to explore the edges of the disciplinary boundaries of architecture and give
me the ability to engage with technology, politics, culture, and communities. I believe the future study in
City Design will provide me with more comprehensive and sophisticated ways of architectural design. That
is what I am expecting to find out my graduate study in RCA, especially on City Design.

My respect for the MA: City Design Programme in RCA is immersing, and I will be very delighted to be part
of it. I believe that being a student in RCA would not only empower my career development, but also would
give me the framework to utilize my full potentials in a meaningful way. I hope that I will be given with an
opportunity to not only study at your school, but also to become fully absorbed in your planning
community. Living in this gorgeous city and studying in one of the top art and design school in the world
will be a memorable experience of my life.

I appreciate the time taken to read this and I am looking forward for a satisfying result.

Sincerely,
Muhammad Tidar Albarkah
