Summary of the Profile
Objective(s) of a study programme:
To provide knowledge to understand sociocultural and technological content of architecture and express it by architectural means, develop abilities to identify and solve architectural problems using interdisciplinary knowledge, research and design skills, and abilities to visualise solutions.
Description of the study programme: https://admissions.ktu.edu/programme/v-architecture/
Learning outcomes:
Knowledge and abilities:
Able to apply theoretical statements of technological, humanitarian and social sciences to solving architectural issues.
Able to reflect knowledge of the history and theories of architecture and the related arts and urbanism in the context of contemporary design and critical analysis of architecture.
Able to apply the principles of interdisciplinary and experimental research and design as well as advanced technologies in architecture and urban planning.
Able to apply general, professional, subject and interdisciplinary knowledge and knowledge of construction law in the architect's creative activity, and to formulate reasoned decisions based on them, to present visual and textual information in a clear, precise and understandable way.
Research;
Able to examine living environment from historical, cultural, philosophical perspectives applying various theoretical approaches for critical evaluation.
Able to analyse living environment from structural, material, engineering as well as environmental, aesthetic, social, economic points of view, systematize analysis results and to make critical decisions based on them at the discrepancy between contemporary constraints and future contingencies.
Able to search information in primary and secondary sources by applying modern technologies, to use results of various scientific researches, and to apply diverse experimental research methods and technologies to ensure efficiency of problem-solving by critically evaluating theoretical and practical innovations.
Special skills:
Able to interpret the given brief of a project on the basis of individual interests and analysis to posit an original, specific argument.
Able to investigate a site from multilateral viewpoints related to social, cultural, ecological, ergonomic, aesthetical issues, to posit a reasoned proposition.
Able to collect and summarize theoretical and empirical information concerned with architectural design and urban planning and to use it creatively for experimental design.
Able to create independently alternative strategies of architectural design and urban planning problems solving in order to contextualize the designed object from aesthetic, ecological, social, cultural, economic aspects.
Able to independently develop innovative architectural design and urban planning solutions based on the most advanced technologies and specificity of socio-cultural context using computer-aided design techniques and graphic design tools.
Social skills:
Able to apply a range of presentation techniques of individual and group work ideas and use various communication tools and to communicate and collaborate with professionals in other fields, in national and at least one foreign language.
Able to collaborate with colleagues, clients, contractors, engineers and field constructors, in consideration of local communities.
Able to define the specifics of an architect's work, ethical obligations, assume social and ecological responsibility, describe the similarities and differences between academic and practical work.
Personal skills:
Able to balance his/her intuitive stance and rational posture developing both logical thinking and creativity, and to improve his/her professional competences continuously.
Able to communicate and collaborate efficiently with non-experts in the field of architecture and to take personal and command responsibility for the quality of activities of the architect as well as impact on economic, cultural development, the environment and public welfare.
Able to work independently and as part of a team, to plan and organize his/her work, to perform tasks and commitments in a professional and responsible manner and organize and lead design work.
Activities of teaching and learning:
The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing
other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components).
Study subjects (modules):
Architectural Materials, Computer-Aided Architectural Design 1, Fundamentals of Architectural Design, Introduction to Architecture, Computer-Aided Architectural Design 2, History of Architecture, Residential Architecture, Structures of Dwelling Houses, Architecture of Public Buildings 1, Building Physics, Space Modelling, Structures of Non-Residential and Engineering Buildings, Typology of Architectural Spaces, Architecture of Public Buildings 2, Building Energy Performance Predictions and Design, Building Information Modelling, Spatial Legislation, Theory of Architecture, Architecture of Building Complexes, Construction Planning and Project Management, Cultural Heritage, Joint Project, Sustainable Architecture, Critical Analysis of Architecture, Economics of Spatial Decisions, Professional Internship, Landscape Ecology, Urban History and Theory, Urban Planning 1, Research Project 1, Sociology of Spaces, Urban Planning 2, Research Project 2, Space Syntax, Urban Data Analytics, Master’s Degree Final Project.
Electives of Philosophy and Sustainable Development: Media Philosophy, Sustainable Development;
Electives: Architectural Visualization, Virtual Reality, Parametric architecture, Modular Construction and Regenerative Design, Methods of Architectural Renovation, Methods and Means of Heritage Management, Geographic Information Systems for Territory Planning, Drawing, Digital Modelling of Spatial Environment, Digital Modelling Methods for Buildings;
Foreign Language Electives (Level C1): Academic and Technical Communication in English (Level C1), Academic and Technical Communication in German (Level C1), Academic and Technical Communication in French (Level C1).
Study programme abstract:
A graduate has knowledge of technology and humanities, history and theory of architecture and urban planning, understands the importance of interdisciplinary and experimental research and design, as well as the implementation of advanced technologies in architecture and urbanism and the characteristics of their application. The graduate is able to analyse and design spaces from the point of view of the user and the architect. He/she is able to explore the existent typologies of spatial planning and design from the historical, cultural, philosophical perspectives, and relate the results of the analysis to the prototyping via structural, material, engineering, as well as environmental, aesthetic, social, and economic research. The graduate is able to develop and visualise innovative architectural design and urban planning solutions based on cutting-edge technologies and specificities of the socio-cultural context.
Access to professional activity:
The graduate can work at a private/public organisation to further develop his/her competencies in such fields as architectural design, interior design, urban planning, landscape design and planning, and heritage management. The graduate can develop a private business of architectural design.
Access to further study:
S/he has access to the third cycle studies.
