Program Description

Architectural Technology is the application of science and engineering knowledge to the design of buildings. They work together with architects in multidisciplinary teams to achieve efficient and effective technical design solutions which are robust, durable and sustainable. Architectural Technologists are technical designers, skilled in the application and integration of construction technologies in the building design process.

The course includes:

• The history, context and design of buildings including new buildings, extension and conversion of existing buildings
• The link between design and the technological, environmental, cultural, economic and social parameters } Technology of architectural forms, functions, concepts and contexts
• Accessibility and inclusive design reflecting how all people perceive, experience and use all aspects of the built environment
• The design and construction process and systems efficiency, effectiveness, economic and environmental sustainability, quality, safety, reliability and appearance
• Legal and regulatory requirements including building regulations, planning and development legislation, building control and health and safety
• Science and engineering of materials and components related to design
• Building services engineering, environmental science and structural engineering
• Project and design management, project procurement and process, construction and contract management
• Computer-aided design, 3D modelling, ICT and BIM.

Career Options

Career opportunities for Architectural Technology graduates are excellent. Typically employers include architectural firms, public and private bodies, planning departments and local authorities, private construction firms and material manufacturers. The architectural technologist is a key member of the design team and collaborates closely with the architect to provide objective technical advice. Demand from local, national and international companies is exceeding current supply of suitably qualified graduates.

Four great reasons to consider this course
