Architecture
Building Revitalization and Transformation
What is it about?
In architecture, working with existing buildings is becoming increasingly important. The master’s degree program in Architecture | Building Revitalization and Transformation will turn you into a creative, critically minded individual with a high level of professional expertise. You will learn to develop ecological, economical, and socially responsible solutions to architectural challenges – grounded in research, rooted in practice, and focused on sustainability and the careful use of existing resources.
What can I do with it?
“Building Revitalization and Transformation” is assuming a key role in architectural practice, given the growing need to reduce resource consumption and respond to demographic changes – from converting residential buildings to repurposing administrative spaces to revitalizing entire urban neighborhoods. Working with existing structures means combining resource efficiency, environmental sustainability, and social responsibility – and our degree program prepares you to actively shape the future of construction. Preserving historic buildings is also a growing area of work for architects.
With a master's degree, you will be eligible to join the Chamber of Architects.
