Master’s in Architectural Tectonics

The M Arch program with specialization in Architectural Tectonics at the Faculty of Architecture, CEPT University is a rigorous studio-based teaching environment, supported by a state-of-the-art workshop, which offers manual, automated, and digital tools for production. Students shall undergo this training to design and explore their ideas in the form of models, prototypes, and part or full-scale mock-ups. The studio is both a place of research and implementation through design.

This specialization is an opportunity to explore existing and emerging methods and tools of design and production, helping students to connect between questions of architectural meaning to the questions of making while keeping up with the constantly evolving profession of architecture.

The program focuses on the region of South Asia, responding to the challenges of tropical climate and rapid urbanization. Through this specific focus, the program contributes to the universal problems of the design discipline, sharing and exchanging innovative and emerging solutions to design challenges in the global milieu.

Studios in this specialization are tutored by both academic and practicing architects who offer a balance of theoretical and practice oriented explorations. These studios also introduce students to examples of advanced design thinking through exposure to the CEPT FabLab, workshops and the CARBSE (Center for Excellence in Green Energy and Environment) on campus.
