Architecture Typology

Master of Science (M.Sc.)

About the Program

Architectural and urban development tasks are always confronted with political, cultural, technical, economic, social, and ecological changes. In the international, English-language master's program in Architecture Typology, you learn to bring together very different and sometimes conflicting requirements and objectives in the design process to create a holistic architectonic solution. The program also focuses closely on building typology. In order to confront current challenges, building typologies are rethought and tools developed that enable nuanced responses to complex questions in the respective context. This is done using established typological methods of analysis and design as well as new, experimental, digital, and speculative practices of creating types.
