Description
Architects plan building work. Their task is the preliminary, technical, environmental and social planning of buildings. They are instrumental in shaping architectural culture and have a responsibility to society, to their clients and to the environment.
Graduates are capable of formulating concepts both by hand and on the computer and then are able to develop and independently implement the designs in structural and spatial form. They are trained to work on complex construction projects and to coordinate the various fields of expertise involved in construction.
Der interdisziplinäre Ansatz der Architekturlehre war ein prägender Teil unseres Studiums und ist es bis heute, ob bei erfolgreichen studentischen Architekturwettbewerben, Arbeiten im künstlerischen Bereich oder im Job.
