Department of Architecture
The architecture program of the School of Visual Arts is oriented toward developing the student's creative ability to deal with architectural problems on analytical, conceptual, and developmental levels. The Department of Architecture is unique in its location in the School of Visual Arts, not in the School or College of Engineering. Thus, the Department emphasizes creativity as well as engineering and technological aspects of architecture, and through a series of studies in culture and society, building structure and technology, and environmental sciences, the student will become an innovative artist with conceptual thinking and ideas. In one word, the goal of the Department of Architecture is to produce architects who can judge and create in the ever-changing world of architecture.
