Introduction
The Faculty of Architecture offers the following program conducted in English:
Master of Science in Architecture
A 2-year graduate program in the area of Architecture, specialization:
Architecture for Society of Knowledge (ASK)
Architecture for Society of Knowledge is a new professional program focused on digital design and crucial aspects of architecture and urban planning. The duration of the program is 4 semesters. The last semester is dedicated to the preparation of the final thesis and ends with a Master of Science in Architecture degree in the field of architecture. Students can explore contemporary design practices as well as media and digital technologies applied in the design and construction of the 21st-century city.
ASK is dedicated to those who wish to extend their practical understanding of contemporary architecture and urban planning. The program covers digital media in design, prototyping with computer-controlled machines, distributed design collaboration, and agendas for sustainable, intelligent building. At the same time, it acquaints students with the basics of architecture: cultural heritage, history and theory paradigms, social aspects of space creation, and education through interaction.
ASK aims to equip young practicing architects with the formative experience required in:
- active participation in the global architectural knowledge society, and critical interpretation of the creative aspects of design and design collaboration.
- collaborative, and interdisciplinary practice of architecture.
- architectural research exploring new design technology and theory.
