Goals and Contribution to Society
Academic Field of Design ScienceThe Academic Field of Design Science is devoted to fostering knowledge and carrying out research in areas related to architecture and design. Given the broad interdisciplinary nature of architecture and design students in this academic field will be given relevant knowledge about human sensibility, culture, society, the environment, as well as a broad range of high-level technological knowledge and skills. The curriculum is focused on the creation of living environments that are consistent with the needs of 21st-century society and the technologies and ideas necessary to realize those needs.

Curriculum Overview
To effectively carry out the above goals, the Academic Field of Design Science has a teaching staff with a wide range of expertise, ranging from architecture and design to humanities and social sciences. Through the close supervision of the staff, students will acquire a general overview of a wide spectrum of practical knowledge and skills. This generalist approach is one of the defining features of this accademic field.

Students in the undergraduate program will be able to choose from one of three majors: Design, Architecture and Building Engineering, and Architecture and Culture. For details on these majors, see the Undergraduate Program of Architecture and Design.

In the graduate program, Masters’ students will be able to choose from one of three programs:
(1) Master's Program of Architecture and Design: this program focuses on the theory and history of architecture, design and art, architectural planning, and architectural technology.
(2) Master's Program of Design: this program is primarily focused on the practical side of the design process.
(3) Master's Program of Architectural Design: this program is concerned with the practical aspects of architecture.

A Doctor's Program of Design Science, an advanced research program for PhD candidates, is also offered in this academic field.

Throughout these programs, students will have full access to the Museum and Archives Collection and its staff for study and research purposes.
