The Architectural Design Graduate Program is built around a combination of theoretical coursework, practical design Research Labs (a.k.a. studios), and attached research projects. Research Labs carry the most weight, emphasizing hands-on learning, application, and professional practice. The compulsory courses are spread across a variety of topics to support these labs from various skill sets and theoretical backgrounds.

Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) are:

• PLO 1: Discuss and critically analyze design culture and theories specializing in the digital era.
• PLO 2: Envision and propose innovative, inclusive, and sustainable solutions for the future of design and architecture.
• PLO 3: Generate creative designs and solve problems using advanced computational tools.
• PLO 4: Simulate and optimize building performances to enhance efficiency, accessibility, and sustainability.
• PLO 5: Prototype designs through material experiments, digital fabrication, and robotic technologies.
• PLO 6: Research and communicate findings effectively in academic and professional contexts, promoting lifelong learning skills.
• PLO 7: Collaborate across disciplines to contribute to industrial innovation and societal progress, considering global and cultural contexts.
