The Department of Architecture is incorporated into one of the best universities in Europe. This includes strong alliances with companies and with academic institutions all over the world. Systematic internationalisation is one of the strategic development goals of Munich's school of architecture. The curricular integration of a stay abroad should make it much easier for students to build up international experience skills.

Student designs, Bachelor's and Master's theses, dissertations and research papers can be professionally worked on and realised in the workshops, research laboratories and computer rooms of the Design Factory. Skilled Trades: Woodworking shop, plastic workshop, metalworking shop, student workshop, spraying and painting room, plaster workshop; Digital Factory: Laser cutter, digital cutter, CNC milling machines, foil cutter, 3D printing, photo studio; Data processing: Computer workstations, plotter; Rental of multimedia equipment

The Department of Architecture is involved in numerous research and development projects. With over 160 registered doctoral students in the TUM Graduate School, the department is one of the strongest in the German-speaking world. The department is one of the leaders in terms of research reputation and performance in the environment of German architecture training institutions. The exceptionally good link with Engineering Sciences at TUM deserves a special mention.

Our central task is to sustainably improve teaching and research in our field and to develop strategies for the transformation of our built environment. On the basis of our core activity of designing, we synthesise, contextualise and create complex spatial solutions. It is our vision to successfully integrate design practice into research.
