The program provides an in-depth analysis of the key theoretical concepts that underlie architectural practice, encouraging students to put these conceptual frameworks to work to analyze and critically evaluate the built environment from a transnational perspective. The program is dedicated to situating the study of building design in a global context; it incorporates non-Western perspectives and multi-cultural approaches to the analysis of the built environment while examining how the process of globalization influences the practice of architecture and technological development. The program proudly draws on SAID’s world-renowned reputation as a leader in cooperative education and the outstanding scholarship of its faculty who are prolific scholars in the field.
