The Architecture Program of the School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture’s core responsibility is design education. Projects on this website are produced by students completing the professional MArch program.
Through teaching, professional endeavours, research and scholarly activities, the Program is committed to the production of outstanding graduates equipped to provide the necessary design and intellectual capabilities that will contribute to a built environment that supports civil and sustainable patterns of living.
The Architecture Program has three overarching commitments: enhanced student learning, productive community involvement and research excellence. The actions taken to achieve the goals set by these commitments can often serve to further several goals and more than one commitment: curricular and pedagogical practices may also involve community engagement and /or faculty research. This interrelatedness contributes to the robustness of the Program.
To further this end, our goal is to make interdisciplinarity common practice. Engagement with environmental issues, for instance, is distributed across all facets of the program, including dedicated course work, classes and studios, faculty research and publications and community initiatives.
