The DIS Architecture & Design Program
This program is an integrated whole, in which studio work, lecture courses, seminar courses, field work and study tours are combined to give you a thorough understanding of the theory, aesthetics, methodology, and actual works of contemporary Scandinavian and European architecture and design. Pre-Architecture is specifically designed for students who do not have a background in Architecture and Design, but one in Fine Arts, Studio Arts or similar fields plus the necessary drawing skills.
Program Objectives
The objectives of the Architecture & Design programs
are:
* to expand your professional skills through
interaction with Danish architects and
designers in studio, coursework, and on field
studies and study tours
* to familiarize you with contemporary Danish,
Scandinavian and European architecture,
architectural theory, and design
* to enable you to recognize and analyze the
effects of European cultural, economic and
political life on architecture and design.
