1 is a degree program leading to a first professional degree in architecture. The School of Architecture offers a series of Post Professional Masters programs open to holders of the professional B. Arch. degree, and to those holding Master of Science degrees in relevant fields. Requiring one year residence, these programs give hands-on, creative experience with the most advanced tools in their respective fields from animation and simulation software to new materials for building. The activity is project based, the experience interdisciplinary, and conducted as part think tank, part laboratory. It focuses on their application and administration relating to building and the construction industry.
Emphasis is given to emerging technologies and the implications of their effect on the environment.
A theoretically and computationally intensive investigation into the role that advancing spatial and simulation technologies play in the practice of contemporary architectural design, their consequences, and cultural relevance. Both M. Arch. 2 and M.S. degrees are offered. The Lighting Research Center is one of the world's foremost research and educational facilities devoted to lighting design and performance. It's mission is to change architecture and lighting practice through lighting that is energy efficient and responsive to human needs.
