Overview

The first semester of this Architecture - Design for the Built Environment course from SRH University comprises the modules Architectural Theory, Building Construction I + II and Urban Analysis and Representation. Together they focus on a reflective approach to architecture and the city: they develop architectural ideas, concepts and realise them in architectural design. In the second semester, they deal with an existing building in the steps of analysis, design and building construction. They work at the university and in the building itself. Various compulsory electives round off the semester before you start working your thesis.
