Dean’s Welcome

The Faculty of “Architecture, Art Dizan and Construction” (FAD) is an inter-disciplinary faculty that develops professionals ready for the local and global markets, melting knowledge stemming from the fields: ART-DESIGN, Architecture-urban, as well as Construction engineering (structure and geotechnical). Art, architecture and construction constitute a thousand -year -old ecosystem, which is explored and applied to FAD with the most advanced pedagogical and scientific methods, such as parametericalism and apprings of contemporary and experimental technologies.

The main units of the FAD are: i) the Department of Art-Design; ii) Department of Architecture and Construction Engineering; iii) Research unit of engineering and design architecture (in the inter-dependence of IF Innovation Factory). The faculty has 3 basic units, 3 profiled schools, and 7 academic programs/profiles (Bachelor, Professional, Scientific and Integrated Master). The faculty has several laboratories, “Ad-Hock” consulting units, the Research Center; as well as the possibility of profiling through LLL (Long Life Learning) training, and PhD studies.
