Introduction to the Bachelor in Architecture Program

The Bachelor in Architecture program at the Universitŕ della Svizzera italiana (USI) is designed to form a humanist and a generalist architect. The program is based on a balanced integration between practical design work, the humanities, and technical-scientific subjects. The educational project covers a total of five years of teaching and one year of practice in a professional office. The core of the training is embodied in design studios, taught by internationally acclaimed architects who give students hands-on teaching, allowing theoretical knowledge to be continually tested in real-life practice. The program is divided into three years, which lead to a Bachelor's degree in Architecture, and two additional years for the Master of Science in Architecture. The Bachelor conferred by the USI is compatible with the Swiss and international University system. The program is structured to train "generalist architects" capable of taking their place in the complex sector of contemporary architectural design with professional competence combined with an outstanding individual critical capacity. The official teaching language is Italian, although certain courses and studios may be held in English. The program includes a period of work experience in a firm for a minimum total duration of two semesters, allowing students to acquire essential skills in using drafting instruments. The Academy of Architecture is located in various administrative, educational, research, study, and service buildings in the center of the small town of Mendrisio, most of them laid out around a very fine urban park. This arrangement makes the school similar to certain prestigious university campuses found in small English cities or the United States. The Academy's location in a setting close to yet outside the metropolitan areas facilitates student life, while the young people have easy access to the nearby cities. The various buildings on the Mendrisio campus are laid out around the urban park, Villa Argentina (with the faculty board and offices), Palazzo Canavée, and Palazzo Turconi (teaching facilities) and the Library. Nearby are the Archivio del Moderno, a foundation that extends the school's work in historical research, and the Student Residence. The Residence accommodates over 70 students in studio apartments, while the town of Mendrisio and the environs offer connected rental accommodation with good connections at far more accessible prices than in the metropolitan areas. The program's curriculum is designed to provide students with a comprehensive education in architecture, including theoretical foundations, practical skills, and an understanding of the social, cultural, and environmental context of architectural design. The program's structure and contents are designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the principles and practices of architecture, as well as the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the profession. The program's faculty members are outstanding for their authority and international reputation, and the program's international vocation is reflected in the presence of professors of international provenance as well as students from dozens of different countries. This means that the interaction of teaching and socialization is especially rich at the school. Over thirty nationalities are represented in the student body and the teaching staff, making the Academy of Architecture and the other faculties of the USI an especially useful center of cultural exchange in a period like the present, which has to train new professional and intellectual figures, to cope with the processes of globalization.
