MA/MS in Architecture

The Master's programme in Architecture continues EPFL's polytechnic tradition of training designers and practising architects with a strong theoretical base. The central discipline is the project at architectural, urban and territorial scale, supported by theory and history, sociology and economy, construction, structures, applied physics in buildings, visual arts and modelling. Teaching works closely with the civil engineering and environmental sciences programmes of the School. Themes include environmental preservation, sustainable development, energy-efficient construction, new materials, control of production costs and the socio-economic impact of planning decisions. Students have individual workspaces, modelling workshops and library access.
