Towards such end, our balanced curriculum is both structured and flexible. It includes core professional courses, liberal arts, sciences, and mathematics, focusing on representational, verbal and written skills. The field of architecture requires the command of architectural design, theory, history, technology, structures, representation, and programmatic and pragmatic aspects related to practice.<\/p><p>The student\u2019s understanding of Architecture, upon completion of the minimum graduation requirements, combines a broad social, cultural and technical foundation. Our program prepares students to face situations of considerable complexity, comprehensiveness and social responsibility, at the same time allowing for personal interests to mature in individually chosen fields. The curriculum integrates initiatives in Architectural Conservation, Urban Planning, Sustainability, and Community Outreach. Graduates of the program are thus expected to operate in a multidisciplinary approach to Architecture.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1072\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Degree Offered<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1072\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1072\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class='widget-content'><h2>Degree Offered<\/h2><div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><div class=\"layoutArea\"><div class=\"column\"><p>The School of Architecture, ARQPOLI offers a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Architecture, a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Architecture with a major in Urban Design, a Bachelor\u2019s Degree in Interior Design, a Master \u2019s Degree in Landscape Architecture (M.Arch, the only one offered in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean Region).<\/p><p>\n\t\t<a target='_blank' class='blue-button' href='https:\/\/pupr.edu\/es\/associate-degree-in-product-design\/'>\n\t\t\t Associate Degree in Product Design<br \/> \n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/p><p>\n\t\t<a target='_blank' class='blue-button' href='https:\/\/pupr.edu\/es\/interior-design\/'>\n\t\t\t\u00a0Interior Design  \n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<br><\/p><p>\n\t\t<a target='_blank' class='blue-button' href='https:\/\/pupr.edu\/es\/landscape-architecture\/'>\n\t\t\t\u00a0Master of Landscape Architecture  \n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<br><\/p><p>\n\t\t<a target='_blank' class='blue-button' href='https:\/\/pupr.edu\/es\/master-in-architectural-conservation-and-rehabilitation\/'>\n\t\t\t\u00a0Master in Architectural Conservation and Rehabilitation  \n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1073\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Public Information<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1073\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1073\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class='widget-content'><h2>Public Information<\/h2><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pupr.edu\/es\/architecture-undergraduate\/naabaccreditation\/\">NAAB Accreditation<\/a><\/strong><\/p><p>The Bachelor of Architecture is accredited by the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.naab.org\/\">National Architectural Accrediting Board<\/a>\u00a0(NAAB).<\/p><p><strong>Statement on NAAB-Accredited Degree:<\/strong><\/p><div><p><em>In the United States, most registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure.

The Workshop contains hand tools, power tools and metal working equipment which students can use to produce objects and models required for their courses and research. Students are trained in basic security aspects before authorized use of these facilities. The facility functions as an experimental lab, classroom, and reference area where the recycling of discarded materials is promoted. The administration and operation of the workshop is under the direction of an architect who serves as director, together with the assistance of students under the work-study program.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"toggleTitle acco_plus\">Digital Fabrication Lab<\/div><div class=\"hide_accordian\"><p>The recently established Digitial Fabrication Lab is located on the second floor of the School, adjacent to the Digital Meida Archive. The Lab is equipped with a large format laser cutter together with the hardware and software needed to operate it. The Lab supports the course curriculum, in particular, the Visual Studies program. Current (ARCC 0410 Digital Fabrication) and future courses will integrate the use of the Lab. As part of the School\u2019s expansion\/remodeling project, the Lab will be relocated within the Fabrication Lab. The Lab will be provided with additional equipment, inculding a large format laser cutter and a 48\u2033 x 96\u2033 computer numerical controlled (CNC) router.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"toggleTitle acco_plus\">Digital Media Archive<\/div><div class=\"hide_accordian\"><p>The Digital Media Archive, formerly known as the Media Lab, is a controlled facility that serves primarily as the School\u2019s institutional digital memory and database. It stores academic works such as: Mid-career research papers, Capstone projects, think-tank products and other research ventures. Among other things: a slide image collection, lectures\u2019 videos, photographs, ARQPOLI\u2019s publications and a small digital collection of architectural books and magazines. It also serves as home to the program\u2019s webpage headquarter and the graphic design studio responsible for the schools\u2019 graphic identity and the diffusion of news and promotional information on the program. This facility houses 5 personal computer workstations with access to five main computers, which are used both by students and professors for research in the fields of architecture, graphic arts and digital technologies as support for the academic and studio work. The archive serves also as a digital reading room. As a long-term plan, we envision the archive to become an integrated information hub (comprising the library, the engineering departments and other external resources), to become a more comprehensive center for research and information sharing within the student body, the faculty and the general public. The archive is part of the institutional computer main system.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"toggleTitle acco_plus\">Products Library<\/div><div class=\"hide_accordian\"><p>The purpose of the Products Library is to maintain reference samples and catalogs of different materials and products used in the finishing of building walls, floors, ceilings, for both interior or exterior use such as: stones, wood, steel, paint, glass, acrylics, acoustic materials, ceiling tiles, floor and wall tiles, furniture for office and home, hospitals and schools, hotels and restaurants and textiles for different uses. This library will allow the students to touch and experience the materials and products available to them for use in architecture, interior architecture and design projects enhancing and completing the learning experience while at school.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"toggleTitle acco_plus\">Housing, Urbanism and Planning Workshop<\/div><div class=\"hide_accordian\"><p>This laboratory is developing a study proposal of the Hispanic Caribbean in collaboration with other institutions in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. A proposal titled \u201cA Lakou for Haiti (Un Lakou para Haiti), which was organized by the ArqPoli Chapter of the American Institute of Students of Architecture (AIAS) is evidence of the commitment the School has to address relevant themes of current events.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"toggleTitle acco_plus\">Ceramics Lab<\/div><div class=\"hide_accordian\"><p>The Ceramics Laboratory provides a space to experiment with tridimensional or sculptural\u00a0representations.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"toggleTitle acco_plus\">Sustainable Exploration Workshop<\/div><div class=\"hide_accordian\"><p><span style=\"color: #222222;\">ARQPOLI\u2019s Workshop of Sustainable Explorations focuses on the conviction that\u00a0sustainability is an intrinsic part of the design process; therefore informs the conceptual,\u00a0programmatic and formal\u00a0decisions of the project. This pragmatic approach should not be\u00a0categorized as an added value, but as an integral element of architecture, regardless of the\u00a0scale of the project.<\/span><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><br style=\"color: #222222;\" \/><span style=\"color: #222222;\">Part of the fundamental intentions of the Workshop, was to defocus sustainability as a sole\u00a0curriculum design course. Sustainability was addressed through conferences given to the\u00a0students \u2013\u00a0each tailored to various knowledge levels. Through that period, it became\u00a0apparent that ARQPOLI needed a constant platform that focus on sustainability concepts,\u00a0strategies and applications. As a\u00a0result, the Workshop transformed into a center where\u00a0students come to investigate issues related to sustainability.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"toggleTitle acco_plus\">Citizen Participation Workshop<\/div><div class=\"hide_accordian\"><p>The purpose of The Citizen Participation Workshop is to provide students of architecture,\u00a0and related disciplines, tools so they can establish a dialogue and extract information from\u00a0users, residents\u00a0or the people for whom they design spaces. Students will be able to design\u00a0a participatory process working closely with the residents in the design and development of\u00a0spaces for public or private\u00a0use. It is important that people can be part of this process\u00a0because, in this way, can empower the spaces that are designed, feel them own, care for\u00a0and maintain then. Architects, working with\u00a0citizen participation are not only designers but\u00a0also counselors and facilitators, while learning from the experience of people in the spaces\u00a0they inhabit.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"12\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-10712\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Contact Us<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-10712\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"12\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-10712\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class='widget-content'><h2>Contact Us<\/h2><p>School of Architecture | ArqPoli<\/p><p><strong>Diana Rivera Rivera, Dean <\/strong><br \/><a href=\"mailto:drivera@pupr.edu\">drivera@pupr.edu<\/a><\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Amy L.
