Architecture and Urban Design

Course description 

Today, the existence and development of the city are impossible without the participation of architects. The increasing role of the architect in modern conditions has determined various forms of architectural and design activities. An architect is formed as a creative person, organically combining the facets of an artist, an engineer, and an organizer of the processes of work – they are specialists who understand the prospects for the development of society, the task of improving the environment and is able to solve the problems facing architecture and urban planning.
The duration of the educational program is four years. During the training period, students, future architects, study various disciplines related to the history of art, architecture, and urban planning, as well as disciplines related to construction specialties such as building materials, architectural structures, architectural physics, engineering communications, etc. Particular attention is paid to language training. A significant part of the learning process is occupied by practical classes, where students receive modern knowledge and skills in designing a building and structure, starting with the simplest (individual residential building) and ending with complex, multifunctional objects (community center, theater).
