Course Description
Architectural technologists are a key part of any construction team, qualified to lead construction projects from design through to completion.
At ARU, our Architectural Technology degree course focuses on the link between building design and production. It gives you the technical understanding to bridge the two – and take the lead on major built environment projects.
In our specialist model-making studios and out on site visits, we’ll explore the technology of architecture. You’ll become adept at fine-tuning the design of buildings so that they’re truly usable, liveable and sustainable.
Architectural Technology is the link between design and construction to achieve the optimisation of production and long-term performance, with the use of technology for managing, assessing and evaluating projects. It needs to keep pace with changing social, economic, legal, cultural, environmental, technological, business and political frameworks on the built and natural environment relating to design, within a national and international context. This course focuses on employability and skills development to enable you to contribute significantly to industry challenges. It provides integration between construction technology and low environmental impact design that addresses the urgent need to decarbonise, with equal attention to new and existing buildings.
Accredited by the Chartered Association of Building Engineers (CABE).
