Programme Aims & Learning Outcomes

The programme aims to nurture architecture graduates who are able to adopt advanced technology and innovations in practice to support the growth of the construction industry. The proposed programme objectives are to provide high-quality education to familiarise architectural students with the latest advanced technology, such as artificial intelligence (AI), building information modelling (BIM) and geographic information systems (GIS) relating to architecture, construction, building materials and building services to respond to the need for sustainable development in the built environment. The uniqueness of this programme lies in its integration of knowledge and analytical tools, digital skills and transferable skills with design capabilities to meet the needs of the architecture profession. Graduates will posses critical thinking and problem-solving skills and a research spirit in architecture design and the adoption of advanced technology and innovation.

Programme Characteristics

The programme hosted by the Department of Building and Real Estate (BRE) and co-hosted by School of Design (SD).


 

The curriculum will include advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) in architecture, data analytics, 3D printing, Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE), Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) and Building Information Modelling (BIM). These technologies will be embedded in relevant technical subjects of the programme and the Architecture and Spatial Design Studios.




Practical training/internship (Work-Integrated Education) will be a compulsory element of the curriculum. Students usually complete their internship during the summer period.


 

The Department maintains a mentorship scheme in which students are paired with senior figures in the construction and real estate industry to gain insights into professional practice.
