Description

The Bachelor of Architecture and Environments (BAE) provides a uniquely broad overview of the built environment through studies in design and architecture, urban planning, sustainability, heritage, building systems and construction and property. Students develop a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between architects, urban planners, urban designers, heritage conservationists, property developers, engineers, construction managers and other built environment professionals. The unique program opens the door to a wide range of professions in the field and provides the skills and knowledge to operate successfully in today's complex and globalised built environment. Students learn the latest techniques through intensive practical, laboratory and studio-based classes. The BAE draws on the full range of the school's disciplines and laboratories which include 3D laser cutting, digital fabrication and modelling facilities. Studies will also cover best practice construction techniques, structural principles and building material properties.
