Built Environment - Architecture, BBuiltEnv

Overview

Contextually informed by its location in the designed capital city of Canberra, the architecture program focuses on architecture and the city; exploring the ways in which architecture studio, history and theory, technology and sustainability, and digital production and communication methods come together in the analysis and production of urban built form.

If your career goal is to become an architect, this is the first of two degrees needed to achieve professional registration, with the second being the Master of Architecture. This course has been specifically designed to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to ultimately practice in the architectural profession, and to be a future leader in the design of the built environment.

Study a Bachelor of the Built Environment - Architecture from University of Canberra and you will:

• develop an informed critique of architecture as a professional practice

• understand the ethical responsibilities of the profession to society and the environment

• formulate architectural design proposals underpinned by rigorous analysis, critique and reflection

• understand the workings of an interactive design studio

• apply a range of contemporary and agile skills which inform interpretive, compositional and technical outcomes.
