建筑学硕士-建筑与室内装饰技术与媒体

攻读建筑学硕士课程的学生以及攻读建筑学硕士课程的学生都集中在五个领域之一。为了满足不断发展的社会的需求，建筑领域不断面临挑战。纵观整个历史，建筑受到多种因素的影响，包括文化，社会经济问题，人口迁移，生活方式的改变，当然还有技术的进步。如今，建筑师沉浸在技术革命中，数字工具，建筑材料，设计方法学以及表达人们建筑愿景的各种媒介正在迅速发展。为了使明天的建筑师在行业中发挥重要作用，他们必须拥抱技术并进一步了解各种新兴技术，这些技术将继续塑造我们对空间的构思，创建，设计，操纵和体验的方式。美国天主教大学建筑与规划
The Master of Architecture with a concentration in Technology and Media in Architecture and Interiors (TMAIn) at The Catholic University of America's, School of Architecture and Planning focuses on digital technology and media as a means of exploring the transformative opportunities of emerging technologies during all phases of design, from theory and conception through visualization, representation, construction and beyond. Interdisciplinary in nature, the concentration engages emerging and innovative fields of inquiry and research by working with professions within the field. It is the intent of this concentration to respond to the continual application of digital tools and media to an ever-expanding process of research, conceptual modeling and design, sophisticated testing and effective communication of the work. The concentration operates under the notion that digital design technologies are catalytic tools in the process of design thinking, critical inquiry, and will lead to the creation and crafting of new solutions and strategies for today and the future of architecture.<br><br>Interior Architecture is a fundamental component of how humans are able to shape the environment around them, and the natural extension of a building structure and envelope. Ultimately, it is the ''interior shell'' of a built environment that the majority of individuals experience most frequently in their professional and domestic lives. Through interior design the architect is able to complete his/her vision of the experience of space, facilitating functionality, sensation, lighting, etc. Furthermore, it is often the interiors of a project that help to complete the program for design, meeting a client's desires for attributes such as openness, brightness, specific aesthetical style/s, evocative design, special experiential issues, etc. Accomplishing a truly meaningful space requires a continuous dialogue between interiors and exteriors at nearly every point of the design process, whether designing for a private home or for a complex commercial space.
