Description:

Classes are organised as "vertical studios" where international students meet local students of all years of study and work together. Principles of architectural design are studied and practised on a wide range of building structures: new developments as well as urban renewal and reconstruction. Studios at this level are enriched by studios focusing on topics such as sustainable design, contemporary technologies, interior architecture and preservation. Students are offered a choice of semester assignments either for individual or group elaboration.
The assignment of a requisite optional studio can be elaborated on tasks from topics of any obligatory studios in the relevant semester. In addition to these, it allows a wider selection of assignments: a conceptual studio, an art studio, an industrial design studio, an interior design studio, an exhibition design studio, interior design studio, a BIM studio, a comprehensive interior design studio, a strategic planning or landscaping architecture studio. The assignment can also be determined individually by agreement with the manager of the studio, according to the student's specific interest.
