Department of Architectural Design
In the 21st century knowledge-based global society, the cultivation of internationally competitive human resource with state-of-the-art technology is the main factor in deciding national industrial competitiveness. The disciplines within the department, though quite diverse, have one predominant commonality: they are all about the transformation of the human and built-in environment relationship. At the same time, there has been a special issue regarding the new paradigm of the architectural education system. According to the U.I.A. regulation of certified design education, registered architects who have already completed four year college education are now required to attain five years at the college level for formal accreditation. For that purpose, the Department of Architectural Design is now providing many prospective graduate students for research and development on specified issues of many architectural discipline. The department also ensures that graduate students are well-prepared by coursework that includes both advanced design fundamentals and the more innovative concepts and professional education.
