Weteach,learnandthinkdesign.
The Department of Architecture and Landscape Architecture provides a collaborative, design studio-based higher educational experience in a vibrant urban setting. Our students develop creative problem-solving skills and lifelong intellectual curiosity while pursuing their own design philosophies, preparing them well to make a positive impact on the built environment as professionals.

Dedicated faculty members immerse students in a supportive, one-on-one instructional environment, encouraging learners to keep their minds open and follow their individual approaches to design.
We foster a collaborative learning environment, where students, faculty and staff help each other discover and create knowledge, cultivate skills, and apply techniques to solve problems related to the design of built environments and the landscapes that surround them.
Design thinking is a special form of thinking where diverse theories, concepts and ideas are synthesized in the creative solving of design problems. Design thinking helps us move from the current worlds we inhabit to imagined ones.
