Architecture is approached with an understanding of both
its theoretical and practical aspects, the integrated
thinking necessary to the solving of problems and the
creation of beauty within the real world of everyday life.
In general, the programs seek to analyze existing and
projected examples of built form, to define fundamental
principles and knowledge of the discipline, to develop
to their highest possible degree the student's skills
in the formation and projection of spatial experience,
and to relate individual creativity to cultural and physical
environment..
