Summary of the Profile
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To prepare high professional and scientific level masters of architecture who are able to independently realise sophisticated complex tasks following the principles of sustainable development from the whole to the detail, apply innovative ideas in historical environment and understand their cultural and social responsibility as artist against the society.
Learning outcomes:
I. Knowledge and its application:
Will be able to perform scientific and art research in new and unknown environment, apply new scientific research methods and scientific knowledge and use them in personal creative activity; also analyse and critically evaluate architecture and related public processes as well as their interpretations presented in theoretical literature.
Will acquire new knowledge in the spheres of heritage protection, landscape, modern architecture technologies, management, sociology, and other sciences and deepen the existing theoretical knowledge of philosophy, history, ethnology, and art theory. On the basis of this knowledge, students will be able to understand cultural and art similarities and differences of various countries, analyse scientific research results and integrate them in personal creative activity.
Will be able to associate theoretical and practical knowledge, fully understand the relationship between theoretical and practical studies, prepare projects satisfying sociocultural, aesthetic, and technical requirements; also will be able to study, analyse, and prepare descriptions of projects, will understand all the preparation methods and will be able to use and apply them in various work stages.
II. Research skills:
Will be able to independently choose a research object, properly formulate aims, and realise them in a research study, applying newest methodological tendencies in the science of architecture.
Will be able to properly evaluate critical features of the location chosen for the research and practically realise the results and conclusions of the theoretical research following one of the underlying directions (traditional, aesthetic, and philosophical-notional).
III. Specific skills:
Will acquire knowledge about complicated planning and design spheres as well as specialised skills necessary in the formation processes of natural, anthropogenic, and anthropogenised environment, and will be able to creatively interpret the knowledge in planning and design;
Will develop skills of conceptual thinking, systemic and critical analysis as well as evaluation of creative processes and results in contemporary global and local sociocultural context, will understand the whole of public needs and will be able to perform related tasks satisfying those needs in planning and design and combining them with personal creative ambitions;
Will be able to create and design complicated multifunctional architectural projects conforming to sociocultural, aesthetic, and innovative technical requirements as well as aspects of different environment formation;
Will be able to develop their own activity in one of the independently chosen directions (traditional, aesthetic, and philosophical-notional), independently professionally and creatively design complicated urban, heritage, and environmental objects;
Will be able to understand constructions and engineering systems as one integrated object and evaluate their systemic functioning as well as apply principles of engineering systems when solving planning and design tasks;
IV. Social skills:
Will be able to publicly present and defend personal projects in the form clearly understandable by the public; argumentatively present generalised information and critically evaluate it;
Will be able to understand and properly interpret expectations and needs of individuals, social groups, and institutions related to space planning, building planning and design, organisation and realisation, architectural heritage protection and exploitation as well as natural environmental balance protection;
Will acquire interdisciplinary skills necessary for communication and work in multicultural work groups; while regularly raising personal qualification and qualification of subordinates, will be able to equally properly create individually and lead a group, independently organise the planning and design process and take responsibility for personal results and for the results of the supervised group;
Will acquire a deep understanding of professional responsibility against the society and colleagues related to possible positive or negative influence of personal works of art on the environment and will be able to make optimal decisions related to proper project realisation.
V. Personal skills:
Will be able to independently choose a direction for improvement which corresponds to their creative ideas best, optimally plan the study process and outcomes as well as independently further educate themselves in various spheres;
Will responsibly understand the architect’s profession and role in the society, moral responsibility for the impact of personal activity and its results on the public, economic, and cultural development, social wellness, and sustainable environment;
Will be able to creatively combine conclusions and results of theoretical and practical activity and make innovative decisions in the creative process, will be able to lead intellectual discussions with social groups of different needs and defend personal innovative ideas.
Activities of teaching and learning:
In order to realise the study programme and to ensure all the conditions for the students to achieve the learning outcomes, various and innovative teaching and study methods corresponding to the aims and specifics of separate studied subjects (modules) will be applied. Students will be encouraged to actively discuss, formulate creative ideas, and critically evaluate modern art contexts. The following methods will be applied:
Lectures
Discussions
Debates
Expertise method
Analysis of scientific literature
Information gathering
Case analysis
Presentations
Review and analysis of video records
Brainstorming
Independent work
Project preparation
Exhibition attendance
Creativity tasks, sketching
Computer and practical design
Draft analysis
Communication with specialists of particular construction areas
Nature studies
Work in groups
Creativity workshop
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Control and assessment of student knowledge is a component part of the study process and its aim is to objectively evaluate subject specific knowledge, skills, and acquired competences of a student. Studies of each subject are completed by the evaluation of student knowledge, skills, and abilities, applying a ten-point criterial proportional evaluation.
Learning outcomes of students are evaluated by way of intermediate assessments (oral or written (written papers, tests, essays, etc.), individual creative tasks, and intermediate reviews) and examinations or defence of independently prepared work (project) in the review. The final grade integrates the grades given for intermediate assessments and exam or defence of independently prepared work (project) as well as those given for final review.
The grade of the degree project is influenced by the evaluations of its separate parts, i.e., theoretical and practical. Both parts of the final project are presented during the public defence.
