UC School of Architecture and Interior Design

This critical engagement presupposes sustained evaluation of principles, traditions, and requirements of building in all its aspects, interior and exterior. Our goal is to advance the professions of architecture and interior design by combining ethical judgment and technical proficiency in pursuit of excellence, whether the product of our expertise is a physical or intellectual construction.

In view of constantly changing conditions for practice, our program seeks to multiply insights and abilities in every student - sensitivity to the aesthetic and social responsibilities of environmental intervention; the life-long cultivation of a broad, synthesizing, and humanistic world view; respect for the benefits of research and innovation; deepened commitment to specific lines of inquiry; an advanced understanding of the culture of practice; readiness for professional responsibilities; design acumen, advanced graphic skills and technical vocabulary; affection for risk; and love of play.
