Why Architecture at UT? 

Here, you’ll be empowered to design your practice. Through drawing, modeling, fabrication, construction, and collaboration, you’ll create spaces that are informed by, and in turn impact societies, natures, and the world. Students here develop deep and lifelong connections within our close-knit community. They also expand their reach through study abroad and service.

Our Approach 

We believe that there’s not one way to practice architecture, be an architect, or leverage an architecture degree. At the core, the discipline of architecture is rooted in making, but how we make, what we make, and why we make are often always evolving. Through experimentation, commitment to process, and open-ended inquiry, we avoid defaults and critique the status quo.

For more than 50 years, students have cultivated skills and honed their practice as they design new ways of drawing, modeling, constructing, and representing the built environment. Our students are passionate authors of rich drawings, 1:1 construction experiments, experimental video games, speculative buildings, and anything in between.
