Innovative teaching
The approach of Degree will involve you in your own training through project-based teaching, many of them real thanks to the collaboration with companies or institutions.
The School is committed to the vertical workshop, where students from different courses will work as a team on development projects, combining leadership and responsibility.
Through integrated projects, interdisciplinary education and cross-curricular training are promoted, while facilitating the integration of knowledge from different subjects. In addition, this methodology fosters leadership skills and teamwork.

International internships
The School of Architecture building was built in 1978 by the architects Carlos Sobrini, Eugenio Aguinaga and Rafael Echaide. It was expressly designed to teach and experience architecture from day one. Its structure through a central corridor and distribution of spaces allows students to breathe an atmosphere of openness and creativity that is enhanced by the connections between the different courses and academic staff.
The workshops are open spaces where you can breathe a creative and working atmosphere, where Architecture students and design from different courses will live together, taking advantage of the qualities and contributions of each one.
The building has a laboratory where they experiment and test the resistance of their own Materials. It also has a digital fabrication workshop where students work on the execution of their projects. In these spaces you will tackle the more technical aspects of your projects with the latest technology tools such as laser cutters, 3D printers, milling machines, etc.
