Bachelor of Architectural Design

About this programme

UQs Bachelor of Architectural Design is all about practical and creative learning through design studios. You will do hands-on construction at multiple scales, using progressively more complex materials and forms. Design studios mimic what its like to work at local and international design firms. They are also a lot of fun. Studios are usually organized around a project, and you will investigate and present your design concept in front of your peers and experts at the end of semester. Working hands-on with paper, card, clay and foam will give you the confidence to experiment with architectural form. You will also have opportunities to make models using laser cutters and 3D printers, construct furniture and prototypes, and even work on small buildings using our workshop facilities. You will gain a rich understanding of international cultures and develop skills in communication, teamwork and leadership. You will learn about built environments and communities, construction documentation, people and places, and environmental factors.
