Department of Architecture
With 1,500 students, 200 scientists and 31 professors, the Department of Architecture at the Technical University of Munich is pursuing a research-oriented teaching approach in cooperation with public organizations and companies – embedded in the excellent living and research environment of the greater Munich area.
Our central task is to sustainably improve teaching and research in our field and to develop strategies for the transformation of our built environment. Starting from the core activity of designing, we synthesize, contextualize and design complex spatial solutions. Our vision is to successfully integrate design practice into research.
The department offers an unusually wide range of subjects. The three competence fields «Urban and Landscape Transformation»,»Integrated Building Technologies» and «Cultural Heritage, History and Criticism» are characteristic.
