The mission of the School of Architecture is to advance education, research, and design solutions that enhance the quality of built environments. Situated within South Florida’s dynamic coastal and urban environment our program offers a laboratory for investigating new tools and methods of design in an era of disruption. The School of Architecture fosters integrative and innovative design in preparation for architectural practice. Students develop critical thinking skills and knowledge through exposure to historical and theoretical foundations, emerging technologies, interdisciplinary research, community engagement, and ethical responsibilities of design.
