Why Study Architecture? • Not only are here many different forms of architectural practice, ranging from small private firms to large public or corporate offices, but also an architectural degree can be the platform for a wide range of related careers. • Some architecture graduates gain further qualifications in such specialist fields as planning, landscape or conservation, while others move on to work in television or theatre, or to become teachers or writers. U 1

Architectural Engineering • This field seeks integration of building systems within the overall architectural design. • These building systems include: – – – – HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), Plumbing, Fire protection, Electrical, Lighting, Transportation, and Structural systems. • In most programs, students will be required to concentrate on one of the systems.
