Why is this course for me? UCD Architecture is at the forefront of the architectural and urban design debate, both in Ireland and internationally. It plays a central role in society, leading innovation and develop- ment on every scale. Te Architecture course at UCD offers a means
to engage creatively and constructively with soci- ety. If you have a capacity and passion for crea- tivity, for making things through technological invention or artistic experimentation, and you are excited by the idea of designing buildings, urban environments and landscapes, then this course is for you. Te design process is central to Architecture, harnessing the mind’s analyti- cal and creative powers to produce innovative and novel solutions to everyday and future chal- lenges.
What will I study? Troughout this degree, two main elements are taught each year: the design project and the lecture programme. Te design project is based in our design studios and taught through a combination of lectures, individual tuition, field trips, group tutorials, large reviews and exhibitions (architectural design, drawing and model-making).
Te lecture programme can be grouped under three broad headings:
A Technical (Architectural Technologies • Structures • Environmental Science)
A Cultural (Architectural History & Teory • Ecology • Conservation • Perspectives on Architecture)
A Managerial (Professional Studies)
Career & Graduate Study Opportunities Most architectural graduates go into architec- tural practice or on to further academic study in Architecture or related subjects. Your skills are transferable, which enables you to work any- where in the world. Some architects also work in other areas such as: A Planning
A Heritage site management A Landscape A Cultural and artistic practice A Curatorial work

John Tuomey
PROFESSOR OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Studying Architecture at UCD opened up a whole new world to me. My perception of what we see around us every day changed dramatically. I began to see buildings, cities and landscapes as evidence of human activity, individual intention and collective
intelligence. My strongest memory is of my first days in the first year studio at UCD. I had the feeling that I might have arrived at the place where I belonged... Studying Architecture at UCD is a unique experience.
