The Master's Degree in Building Engineering-Architecture is placed downstream of the degree in Architectural Science and completes the basic architectural education with technical and scientific skills typical of engineering. It trains a professional figure who combines design skills with mastery of technical and construction tools and who is able to work in the integrated design of new constructions and in the rehabilitation of the existing building heritage.

The Course combines frontal teaching with exercises and laboratories of an operational and applied nature.

Experiences that foster contact with the working world, including at the international level, are an integral part of the training, such as:

• project laboratories and workshops
• curricular internships in companies in the sector, which can be carried out in Italy or in another E.U. country
• visits to companies, visits to construction sites and thematic seminars.

• Freelance practice
.
• Inclusion in engineering or architecture firms
• Employment in responsible functions in public or private entities operating in the areas of construction and land management.

The Course fully responds to the ever-growing need for an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to technical problem solving, providing the basic knowledge necessary to:

• devise technical solutions regarding the integrated design of buildings and architectural complexes, structures and major works, for the recovery and restoration of the existing building heritage through the use of traditional and advanced tools
• interacting with experts from other fields and technical practitioners, drafting technical and regulatory reports and reports.

The teachings can be succinctly grouped into three areas:

• structural, geotechnical and hydraulic design
.
• architectural history, representation and composition
• courses characterizing the area of construction engineering.
.

These enable:

• get a thorough knowledge of the history of architecture, construction, urban planning, architectural restoration and other environmental and land transformation activities
• know in depth the tools and forms of representation
• draw architectural designs that meet aesthetic and technical requirements, ensuring structural and plant engineering feasibility
• know the methods of investigation and preparation of the construction project of the architectural organism
• know the structural design, construction, and civil engineering problems associated with the design.
.
