Architecture: Life Long Learning

Architecture combines areas of art and science in the design of spaces, which humans inhabit. Through education and work experience, the architecture student is empowered to explore, investigate, and analyze the built environment, and propose valued creative design solutions based in the core values of space, scale, and light in design with meaningful intention. Architecture is undertaken for the enriched experience of human activity and the betterment of human habitation.

Students should learn to view architecture as a humanistic and professional discipline, which synthesizes art, science, and math through challenging intellectual rigor. It is a search into how the designed environment affects psychological and social behavior while honoring keen aesthetic judgment, and technical understanding of how a building is built with all its many and varied systems.
