The Department of Architecture and Built Environment is responsible for staffing the courses offered at the School of Architecture at Lund University. We are also responsible for courses at other schools in Lund and Helsingborg.
In consultation with the programs, we review the course offering, produce course plans, formulate content and staff the courses with teachers. The department is also responsible for the operation’s premises and support activities such as caretaking and office.
Great emphasis is placed on development work, postgraduate education and research at the department. Collaboration with the surrounding society is another major task.
The Department of Architecture and Built Environment undertakes teaching in and research into the design, planning and production of built environments. In terms of content, the department covers a wide field with its five subject areas.
