Architects give personality to buildings, shaping the purpose and character of whole communities with their stunning designs. As a SCAD architecture student, you'll learn the environmental, social, and sustainability issues that affect how structures are mapped out. You'll apply historical, cultural, topographical, theoretical, and aesthetic factors to concept skyscrapers, museums, mixed-use developments, and more on real-world sites. Using top-of-the-line and emerging resources like augmented and virtual reality, you'll develop the technical expertise and the portfolio necessary to raise buildings that add beauty and color to the world.
