The students of the Degree in Architecture Studies and the Degree in Technical Architecture and Construction study for the first course together and at an equal level, both for theoretical and practical subjects; much like they will come to do once they are working in their respective professions. Additionally, itinerants, publications and trips are organized in order to awaken new interests and enrich the learnings of the students.

7 ACTIVITIES TO TAKE PLACE DURING THE COURSE NEW TECHNOLOGIES The architects of today should be familiar with expert knowledge, analysis, information and management systems, as well as the technological tools for architectural design and calculations. For this reason, the La Salle architectural studies include technology and innovation in order to adapt to the needs of society, as well as to incorporate technology as a differentiating factor in their building works. New technologies such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and BIM parametric modelling allow students to get to know the latest professional tools. Emerging and future technologies are within reach of the students where architectural representation and visualization is concerned. Urban planning workshop in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

8 INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION AND TRAINING We facilitate the possibility of carrying out internships by means of Erasmus programs or Bilateral Agreements in universities throughout the world. We have workshops in place at the University of Southern California (USA), which ranks among the best 45 universities in the world, in addition to the University of Nanjing (China). The students may choose between studying the degree in English, Spanish or bilingually. IAR, Integrated Architectural Research is an officially acknowledged investigation group in which Bachelor s Degree, Master s Degree and Doctorate students collaborate. It is comprised of: ARC, Architecture, Representation, Computing, a multidisciplinary group in charge of design, development and application of information technology and communication (ICT) in the field of architecture. Since its foundation in 1999, it has partaken of a number of projects related with building, the teaching of architecture and spaces for information. University of Southern California University of Nanjing The objective of IAM, Mediterranean Architecture Investigations, which was founded in 2008, is to investigate the divulging of architecture in the Mediterranean area where territoriality and building is concerned, through a transversal view of architectural projects. Both groups carry out investigation projects of which you may partake at a national and European level. The La Salle School of Architecture promotes international exchange programs between schools. These programs are introduced in the syllabus, guaranteeing a continuity in the studies. Your projects will gain international scope as you advance in the degree course: 1st Course 2nd Course rd Course 4th Course 5th Course Barcelona Spain Europe America Asia You will start by carrying out small scale projects in nearby locations, and as you advance in your degree course, the projects will increase in complexity, both in terms of scale and distance (physical and cultural). The result of this evolution is that at the end of the Degree, you will be qualified for working in any project, anywhere in the world. These types of program, of which you may partake, have been carried out in these last few years in conjunction with universities such as the University of Southern California (EEUU), Carnegie Mellon University (EEUU), Southeast University of Nanjing (China) and the National University of Singapore.

9 A good architect wants to design buildings that are built properly. The La Salle teaching methodology is closely linked to the concept of architecture as a profession. On finishing the last courses, we will ask you to be able to build what you have planned. Robert Terradas (Director) 1718_CatàlegARQ_ENG_V1
