Architecture

Architecture is a field that combines art, engineering, and science to design, plan, and construct living spaces—from houses and public buildings to entire urban areas. Architects not only create aesthetically pleasing and functional structures, but also ensure sustainability, environmental harmony, and alignment with human needs.

Overview of the study field

This is a field that requires aesthetic thinking, creativity, and strong technical knowledge. By studying Architecture, students will be equipped with in-depth knowledge of architectural design, urban planning, fine arts, structural engineering, and modern design technologies. In addition, students will develop creative thinking, aesthetic sensibility, and teamwork skills to meet the demanding requirements of the profession. This is an ideal choice for those who are passionate about art, love beauty, and want to make a personal mark through each project they create.
