ARCHITECTURE
At the Master’s education in Architecture, the Nordic
context is the point of departure for exploring the
intersection of architecture and engineering in a local
and a global perspective. Sustainability and tectonics
are central and interlinked fields of importance in this
regard, as the students challenge and develop the so-
cial, environmental and economic role of architecture
towards an enhancement of the built environment. In
doing so the students integrate a multitude of aesthet-
ic, functional, constructive, contextual, material, and
environmental aspects of architectural space while
exploring its relation with- and influence upon our
health and well-being in a problem based learning
environment. Hence, with a foundation in an intersec-
tion of theories, methods and experiments pertaining
to architecture and engineering, the Master’s educa-
tion in Architecture ensures an interdisciplinary and
international competence profile.
