MINOR PROGRAM IN
ARCHITECTURAL CULTURE

Architecture is associated with many fields of study and learning. While architects find themselves compelled to be acquainted with them, it seems relevant to think and expect that those in diverse fields be concerned with the relation of their fields of knowledge to architecture, to the architectural qualities of spaces of everyday life. In a world where interdisciplinary work is gaining ever-growing importance, many from different disciplines collaborate with architects on studies and projects related with the built environment. The program aims to provide those from other disciplines a sound understanding of architecture, and insight into its possible relations to their major subjects, and will be instrumental for effective communication and collaboration in the medium of architecture.
