Architecture University of Applied Arts Vienna

Overview

Key features

The Architecture programme at the University of Applied Arts Vienna also gives students an awareness of the fact that architecture is part of culture and that they bear a responsibility with regard to the given tasks. By critically reflecting on “practical necessities” and standardised procedures, their specific expertise regarding space and organisation enables them to devise solutions to current and, above all, future problems and to meet the demands of society.

This is possible thanks to an educational training that encourages collaboration and imparts to the students the necessary tools and platforms for communication. Work in the design studios trains an openness between various disciplines, and the master programme intensifies this close interaction all the more as it is now possible to increase the intensity of studies on the structure and the solving of tasks to an advanced level.

Graduates possess a high level of flexibility with which to adapt to new situations and have firm command over the latest technologies and tools. This prepares them for all architectural tasks, from spatial planning to interior design, and gives them the requisite organisational skills needed to tackle an increasingly complex production process. In view of globalisation and the predominance of economic calculation, prospective planning becomes particularly important.
