Bachelor of Architecture and Future Environments
Study the Bachelor of Architecture and Future Environments, and learn to prepare and present building design projects of varying scales and complexity.
Architecture focuses on the relationship between people and their environments. Study architecture at AUT and gain an understanding of the critical, ethical, aesthetic, social-cultural and technological components of architecture and the design of sustainable future environments.
You’ll develop a critical approach to architectural design, become familiar with architectural history and contemporary architecture practice, and learn to apply Te Aranga M?ori design principles to your work.
