About the program

this program includes four semesters and provides an opportunity to specialize in architecture, focusing on aspects of research and design of integrated architectural spaces. An important characteristic of the magistracy is the so-called "design studios." Design studios that integrate didactic techniques: research, technical, functional and compositional tasks, tutorials and excursions. This approach, with its variety of didactic methods (such as technical and compositional exercises, project teams, lectures and excursions), leads to the creation of an integrated program that better corresponds to the individual approach. Project tasks focus not only on creating projects, but also research, discussion, related to theoretical training. Lectures are theoretical in nature, while laboratory classes are aimed at developing design skills.
There are five research centers in the Master's Degree Program: the Center for Research and Design Abroad at the partner university; Research Centre for Spatial Transformation and Urban Heritage; Urban Environment Research Center; Center for modernization of mass residential buildings; Center for Urban Planning of World Heritage Sites.
