The new requirements for architecture and building require more demanding, up-to-date information, regarding the implementation and use of constructed surroundings, which affects the quality of life for everyone. They also assume renewed demands for sustainability and a coming together of the building processes and developers, regarding environmental, social and economical matters. The School of Architecture at San Jorge University educates architects with a commitment to functionality, economy and environmental balance from three perspectives: the technical aspects of the profession; sensitive, artistic and technological research and personal commitment. The three perspectives should be mutually reinforcing in the vision of professionals oriented and trained for alternative future contexts, when working in teams in both local and international settings.

Why study Architecture?

It is a regulated profession imparting professional skills, providing rigorous, technical training. There is a need for environmental solutions, sustainability, landscaping, restoration and conservation of historical heritage. The training project is based on the development of the artistic field of architecture, creativity, innovation and design linked with reality. There needs to be a rethink about how to use working areas, homes for every type of household, urban growth and land use planning, new building materials, etc. In short, to use advanced techniques to meet new social needs. The architect is a professional with a decisive influence on the development of future cities.
