Architecture

The Faculty of Architecture aims to stimulate the creative and artistic side of Architecture itself and its students, simultaneously generating a valuable relationship between theoretical knowledge of technology and architectural constructions as closely related elements at all times. We aim to train students in the phase of idea conception, monitoring, and implementation of tasks in the field of architecture and planning.

This means that we are dealing with an Architecture whose purpose is artistic expression, creation, and development of contemporary ideas, respecting the environment at all times. Students gain knowledge about design research and evaluation methods and can compare, and illustrate their knowledge and interpretations of architecture.
