Architectural Technology

Architectural Technology is the application of science and engineering knowledge to the design of buildings. They work together with architects in multidisciplinary teams to achieve efficient and effective technical design solutions which are robust, durable, and sustainable. Architectural Technologists are technical designers, skilled in the application and integration of construction technologies in the building design process. This technical design program integrates theory with practical application to equip students with real-life problem-solving and communication skills and a broad understanding of construction technology and detailing, building regulations, health, and safety legislation and the theory and integration of environmental and sustainable design. In particular, the program aims to develop each student’s knowledge, skill, and competence. It incorporates a low-energy technical design project and a research project which will equip them as they set off on their career as a professional architectural technologist.
