Buildings

The study programme Buildings focuses on buildings - their design, construction, use and removal. A major focus is on the design of building envelope, which requires connection of building physics with bioclimatic design strategies as well as the needs and demands of the building users. The study programme Buildings thus represents a link between the architectural and constructional design of the built environment.

The study programme is tailored to the needs and requirements of designing the living and working environment in buildings. The most important guideline here is the greatest possible harmonisation between the built and the wider natural environment, as this is the only way to achieve the long-term goals of sustainable development while providing comfortable living. In this way, a building, as an engineering product, becomes part of the larger ecosystem and enables its users and society as a whole to function more efficiently and comfortably.
