Bachelor Architecture

Program Overview

Studies in Architecture are not structured like those in EPFL's other departments: the teaching relies on the perpetual dialogue between practice and theory. During their first year of studies, the students take classes dealing with the history and theory of architecture, the city and land, building techniques, as well as means of representing and modeling, all while working in parallel at the workshop in which they develop an architectural project. Sciences such as geometry and physics are also part of the training. Furthermore, the practice of an "architectural project" enables all the students to better understand theoretical teaching which in turn feeds their own reflections and their implementation in the project.
