Architectural Design Technology

Wrexham University

The Architectural Design Technology course explores how buildings are designed and constructed to satisfy aesthetic, functional and environmental considerations in the creation of architecture. The course is both creative and technical in its content. This course is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists, offering free student membership and access to the young/new members group, AspirATion. The course provides opportunities to directly engage with industry and the architectural technology profession through site visits, conferences and guest lecturesLectures are delivered in consecutive blocks as far as possible, and where appropriate on-line, to ensure flexible study time away from University. A variety of teaching and learning methods are used to ensure that technical content is applied to typical design and construction scenarios, including through the use of industry-standard digital resources that are available both on- and off-campus. The Built Environment subject area is part of the Faculty of Art, Computing and Engineering (FACE) and therefore content benefits from association with arts, computing, engineering and renewable energy subject disciplines.
