About the Program

The four-semester Master's program in Integrated Design focuses on state-of-the-art technology in architecture. Students can choose between two focus areas: Computational Design or Facade Design. The program teaches traditional design and planning methods, but particularly emphasizes digital analysis, drafting, planning, and production methods. It provides a detailed overview of the latest technological developments and integrates operational aspects of information technology, building product development, and academic work. The construction industry is becoming more global, international, and subject to stricter local requirements, and digital technologies are permanently changing the building sector. This program places these technologies at the center and prepares students for these industry changes.
