Learning outcomes

After completing this course, students should be able to:
- from a design perspective, discuss and problematize the relations and exchange between the discipline of architecture and the profession of architecture;
- develop and apply knowledge of the importance of the built environment today for the natural environment, climate change and energy use, and the building as a system; and
- reflect on the role of digital methods and tools in the architectural discipline and professional practice.

Course main content

This course deepens students’ knowledge of the discipline and profession of architecture. The objective of the course is for students to explore the relationship and exchange between the architectural discipline and the architectural profession from a design perspective in a series of spatial, cultural, technical, economic, political, social, and ecological processes.

The course is divided into three parts (1 credit each). It ties into coursework in Architectural Technology and design studio assignments, and reflects the variety of directions within the field of architecture at the KTH School of Architecture—advanced design, sustainable design, and digital methods and tools.

Eligibility

The student must be fully approved in the first academic year, courses and projects.
