Course General Description

The bachelor's programme Architecture at TU Wien teaches the basic skills of architectural design. It takes an integrated approach that provides an introduction to all of the core areas of architectural practice, from the planning of buildings through structural and detailed planning to town planning and landscape architecture. The course provides an understanding of the role played by architecture in society, its aesthetic, technical, economic and ecological principles and the interaction between different disciplines in planning and construction processes. At its heart lies training in the technical, aesthetic and intellectual skills that contribute to the successful handling of complex design projects. Methodological clarity and conceptual thinking are as much a part of this as the ability to communicate and cooperate within a team. The bachelor's programme qualifies the student for continuing study at master's level in Architecture or related fields.
