PROGRAMME OUTLINE
Architecture is the art and science of building. Its’ activities encompass the design, development and planning of the built environment as well as managing the construction process. As designers, architects play a key role in creating buildings and habitats that serve as integrated solutions to issues and contexts as diverse as history, socio-culture, human behavior and the environment. They also need to consider the scope and scale of design, which could extend from simple individual living, to communal and urban living and working places. Such a role potentially leads to the development of creative and innovative building types that fulfill the above requirements.
High quality education plays a crucial role in preparing students of architecture as responsible, industrious and creative architects of the future. In keeping with this, the Architecture program at UTM aims at nurturing students’ creativity, understanding of the nature and demands of design activities, skills in visual communication, knowledge of various architectural theories, and abilities in professional practice as well as an appreciation of the values of scientific research.
