The School of Architecture

בית הספר לארכיטקטורה

مدرسة الهندسة المعمارية

The School of Architecture includes study programs for a bachelor's degree in architecture (B.ARCH.) and a master's degree in urban design (M.URB.DES.) as well as future programs such as the bachelor's degree in landscape architecture (B.L.A.) in collaboration with the Hebrew University, which is expected to open in the coming academic year. The school is home to a community of lecturers and students who wish to operate, study, and research the fields of architecture, urbanism, and landscape architecture, while trying to expand the field of discourse and deepen practical and theoretical knowledge. The school offers an open learning space that allows overlaps and connections between these fields, based on a broad, flexible, and dynamic academic structure that allows students to move between programs and study tracks and build for each and every one the path best suiting him or her.

Studies are based on an open model that encourages the deepening and strengthening of the various disciplines, while at the same time opening up the boundaries between them, and enabling connections and transitions between the fields in order to offer students a rich and diverse learning experience. The school offers a wide range of possibilities to deepen within the discipline, field, or topic, with a practical or research/theoretical approach, and to move within an academic space that supports building a unique and personalized path. The school space offers a platform for different profiles of students and grows graduates with a wide range of skills and specializations.

The school is located at the historic Bezalel campus in the center of Jerusalem. This unique location is an excellent basis for architectural studies that examine the relationship between the built space and social and community life, and between the historical and contemporary layers of the space.
