Abstract: Abstract One of the aims of the School of Architectural Engineering is to develop the consciousness of students regarding detailed design and environmental sustainability, together with a critical understanding about the practical viability of architectural “forms.” The hermeneutical foundation of the whole School program consists of overcoming the cultural dichotomy that was introduced in the building sector during the 19th century, as a consequence of the expansion of technique. Our ethical convincement is that “buildability” should be—in everyday practice as well as in monumental buildings—the epistemological and disciplinary foundation of “making architecture”.
