Architecture Degrees Online

The degree will teach students about correlations in the subject of town planning, required specialist knowledge and its independent application, as well as give them practical experience in the profession of urban development and town planning. It will enable students to apply academic insights and methods, and also develop these independently. Theoretical and analytical skills, creativity and independent thinking apply here as much as awareness of problems, a critical faculty and decisionmaking skills.

The education of graduate studies in Architecture and Urbanism aims at the empowerment professional qualification in one and is taught in compliance with the following principles:
the quality of life of the inhabitants of human settlements and quality of material
built environment and its sustainability;
the use of technology in regard to social needs, cultural, aesthetic and economic
communities;
ecological balance and sustainable development of natural and built environment;
the recovery and preservation of Architecture, the Urban and Landscape as Heritage
and collective responsibility.
The course aims at training of general practitioners, able to understand and translate
the needs of individuals, social groups and communities with regard to design,
organization and construction of interior and exterior space, including the Urban Development, the Building, the
Landscape and the conservation and enhancement of built heritage, protection of
balance of the environment and the rational use of available resources.
It also aims at providing the professional knowledge and skills required for
competent professional practice, namely:
knowledge of anthropological aspects, sociological and economic relevance and
the entire spectrum of needs, aspirations and expectations about individual and collective
the built environment;
understanding of the issues that inform the actions to preserve the landscape and
assessment of impacts on the environment, aiming to balance environmental and
sustainable development;
skills needed to design projects in Architecture, Urban and
Landscape and buildings to achieve, considering the factors of cost, the durability,
maintenance and specifications, as well as legal regulations, such
meet the demands cultural, economic, aesthetic, technical, environmental and
accessibility of users;
Knowledge of the History of Art and Aesthetics, susceptible to influence the quality
the design and practice of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape;
knowledge of the Theory and History of Architecture, Landscape and Urban Planning of,
considering its production in the social, cultural, political and economic and taking as
objective critical reflection and research;
mastery of techniques and methodologies of research in Urban and Regional Planning,
Urbanism and Urban Design, and the understanding of systems, infrastructure
and Transport and Traffic, for the design of studies, analysis and plans
intervention on the urban, metropolitan and regional;
expertise appropriate for employment and economic material for
construction and construction techniques and systems to the development of facilities and
land equipment for the organization of works and sites and the deployment of
urban infrastructure; Page 2

the understanding of structural systems and the field of design and structural design,
being based on studies of Resistance of Materials, Stability of
Buildings, foundations and earth works;
understanding of weather, noise, light, heat and energy, and
appropriate technical field of energy conservation associated with them;
the field of theories, practices projetuais and technology solutions for the preservation,
conservation, restoration, reconstruction and rehabilitation and reuse of buildings,
sets and cities;
Design skills and knowledge of geometry, its applications and other
means of expression and representation, such as perspective, modeling, models,
models and virtual images;
knowledge of computing resources for processing information and
representation applied to architecture, the Urban Development, the Landscape and Planning
Urban and Regional (CAD and GIS);
the ability in the preparation and instrumental in making and interpretation of surveys
topography, with the use of Aero-photogrammetry, photo interpretation, Sensing
Geoprocessing and remote, necessary in carrying out projects of Architecture,
Landscape and Urban Planning and Urban and Regional Planning.

Architects set the stage for the drama of human and civic life. In order to create buildings, architects must consider how public and private life interact, how cities should reflect the culture for which they are built, and how technology affects the way we life and work.

Buildings meet both our individual need for shelter and our shared need for cultural meaning. True to its home in an urban university, Northeastern’s curriculum places architectural problem solving in the context of contemporary cities. Students learn the fundamentals of building construction and technology and how the choice of material, structure, and form reflect the surrounding culture and give it a voice.

The dynamic city of Boston is your laboratory where you will learn to identify opportunities for civic representation, urban development, and neighborhood design. And, because our program is offered in the context of a university, there are great opportunities in urban-oriented research and creative work in areas such as mapping, urban economics and development, race and social division, spatial and visual communication, and public policy.

As urbanization and architecture become key forces shaping life in the 21st century, the Department advances the knowledge in urban development and architecture through research and critical practice, and uses this knowledge to benefit local, regional, and global communities.

The Department encourages strong faculty and student research, scholarship, and public service roles in southern Taiwan’s urban development and architecture education.

The Department established an interdisciplinary program and an international academic network of expertise in sustainable planning and design methods to solve real-world problems.

The Department integrates theory and practice into a curriculum that aims to deepen students’ knowledge and skills in urban development and architecture. The courses offered respond both to our values and to the requirements of the local and regional environments. Students acquire problem-solving skills through coursework and internships, and deal with real-world urban and architectural challenges.

Thus, our initiatives focus on five major themes: “Urban sociology and humanity”, “Urban planning and management”, “Transportation planning and urban construction”, “Construction and technology”, and “Architectural environment and ecology”. These five diversified themes are interwoven throughout the curriculum and lead to the overarching theme of “Environmental planning, design, and practice.”
