Architecture

Overview

Architecture

Architecture crosses the boundaries of traditional design specialisms and focuses on the movement of people between interior and exterior environments. Designed spaces are understood as inhabited, and their forms are a response to the inhabitants, shaping surfaces, volumes and facades. The programs in Architecture emphasize the relationship of people and space and studies the important political, ecological, anthropological and cultural consequences that are encountered in the built environment. ​​
