Architecture is the art of planning and designing the built environment based on an understanding of humankind and our connection to the earth. It is a collaborative practice. The ethos of Architecture at ATU Sligo is the belief in the potential of architecture to transform places. We aim for a strong student-centred culture with dialogues between students and lecturers at its core. The challenges of the present demand a radical response to a future which demonstrates concern for both people and planet. This requires a deep understanding of place that tasks us all with the responsibility to innovatively respond to current and future issues, relating to daily living needs while protecting our climate. Our ambition is to impress upon our students their role in contributing to society as a new generation of architects for this region and beyond.
This programme provides education and training for the practice of architecture, taught in a way that makes explicit an understanding of and sensitivity to historical, contextual and cultural influences on the practice of design in a global, national, and local context.
"Architecture is our primary instrument in relating us with space and time, and giving these dimensions a human measure" Pallasmaa, 2005.
Architecture at ATU Sligo invites students to develop their own creative ideas and discover the multi-faceted processes of architecture in a stimulating and dynamic community of passionate academics, highly skilled architects and design professionals.
