This programme leads to the BArch degree and is geared primarily towards the architectural profession. Architecture is all about the art and science of building.
It involves the creation of living environments that meet the requirements of a complex society. Core to architecture is the balance between physical beauty and the practical use of space. The UCD School of Architecture, Landscape & Civil Engineering provides a unique forum for interaction between research, teaching and the practice of architecture and is at the forefront of the architectural and urban design debate in Ireland.
Design is the central activity of the degree and, in this context, the ability to make judgements on appropriate solutions and the exercise of visual awareness is extremely important. While the necessary skills in drawing are taught as part of the syllabus, the prospective student needs to have an aptitude for representation techniques and creativity. |
