Environmental Design for Architecture is an innovative bachelor's and follow-up master's degree study specialisation. The whole study is focused on optimising human activities on Earth in all its scopes of activity, such as culture, sport, education, housing, recreation, industry, science, gastronomy, and the like. It actively responds to current market trends and requirements. Interdisciplinary sustainable design development is focused on landscape ecology, plant ecology, biodiversity, night darkness protection, environmental sociology, and more.

Students are able to effectively connect with expert architects, urbanists, biologists, botanists, sociologists, philosophers and others who, through their scientific activities, can influence the design of the environment they create.

Graduates will become useful correspondents of foreign teams, with whom they would exchange experiences and results of their work. They will be prepared as independent designers or as members of a design team to professionally assess and critically analyse the assigned task, offer multiple design proposals, select and defend the most suitable variant using separately obtained design information and then implement it in cooperation with the production. They will be able to publicly present the results of their own and team work and interpret their opinion, including the relevant formulation of arguments. The study and creative work will take place in the studio, as well as directly in the resolved area. Students will learn to implement their ideas and designs, either individually or within a team, in order to understand and experience that solving such a complex issue as the collision-free life of man on Earth should be a matter of course and currently already a necessity. It is both artistic and scientific, philosophical and psychological work. However, emphasis will always be placed on artistic value and responsibility towards the environment. “Aesthetics is not without ethics” is our studio’s credo.
