Weitzman Architecture offers an immersion in next-generation design-research facilitated by visionary architects and thinkers from around the world. Our students enjoy a multi-interdisciplinary approach to the design and interpretation of the built environment, and the breadth and depth of knowledge that only a leading research university can offer. Students also have access to the Advanced Research and Innovation Lab, or ARI, which is expanding the possibilities for building construction and performance through the interlinked intelligence of digital design, scripting, and robotics. Weitzman Architecture equips future professionals with the tools to respond to the most pressing challenges of our time, from climate change to social justice.
