7/15/2025Architects plan rooms and design spaces ? rooms, buildings, municipalities, cities, or even landscapes. They take into consideration all of the technical, aesthetic, and social aspects, that guide their planning to defined goals. Buildings should look nice, but they should also be functional, sustainable, reasonably priced, and be stable for the long term. Old structures should be preserved and integrated. Public space not only serves transportation, but also housing, economies, and recreation. Thus it must also offer a harmonious balance between private and public spheres as well as good connections. In order to consider so many factors at once, architects learn to systematically determine the different dimensions of a design tasks. In the architecture studies at RWTH, demanding design tasks promote students' creativeness and the acquisition of professional implementation techniques. They guarantee solid training in drawing and design, which makes it possible to later sketch and discuss complex designs without preparation. Solid training in drawing, design, and construction skills teaches future architects to sketch, discuss, and further develop designs, even ad hoc. The course focuses on design projects that have different focal points, from the scale of the city to individual buildings and constructive detail. Students work on tasks of increasing complexity that challenge their creativity as well as their drawing, construction, and design skills. As they work on projects, students continuously reflect on and optimize their architectural and urban planning concepts, applying the specialist knowledge learnt from lectures and exercises. Theoretical subjects such as the history of architecture and art as well as architecture and planning theory are part of the course and provide the orientation framework for the design and project work. The six-semester degree thus provides a solid foundation for the four-semester M.Sc. Architecture and M.Sc. Urban Planning. The subdisciplines structural engineering for high-rise structures and urban and landscape planning are also represented at RWTH:
