An Architectural Technologist is a specialist in building design and construction who is concerned primarily with the sound technical performance of buildings.
On the Architectural Design and Technology degree course at Cardiff Met, you will develop a deep technical understanding of how buildings work and the techniques and materials you need to construct them. Working primarily in a studio environment, you will learn how to design and detail many different kinds of buildings and communicate your designs effectively using the latest industry-standard software.
As you progress through your studies, you’ll become mindful of how architectural technology impacts on the world around us, both locally and globally and how your practices and approaches can make a positive environmental impact.
There will be opportunities to engage in real-world activities, including work with local communities and employers, as well as chances to experience other cultures through overseas study trips.
