Numerous lecture programmes, excursions, work placements, interdisciplinary programmes and work in the workshops expand the programme, allowing students to fully exploit the unique potential of studying Architecture at the Art Academy. The Architecture Department is centrally embedded in the Academy of Fine Arts (ABK) campus and is located in the immediate vicinity of the other artistic and design disciplines. Direct contact with teaching staff and the community of students characterise the special atmosphere in the degree programme. All students have their own studio space.

The degree programme focuses on architectural design. Gaining insight into the formative forces of architectural and urban development processes in an artificial and natural environment exposed to rapid change and multiple challenges, teaching skills to comprehensively, intelligently and aesthetically address current issues, and promoting students' creative potential to fulfil the culture-forming tasks of architecture are essential parameters of the work in design.

While participation in Erasmus+ enables students to study at a partner university in another European country, the state programmes of Baden-Württemberg and university partnerships of the Academy of Fine Arts (ABK) provide a limited number of study places outside Europe each year: Erasmus+ (Europe); University partnerships (Asia, Mexico, Israel); Baden-Württemberg scholarship (outside Europe); California State University Program (USA); Oregon Study Center (USA); Further exchange opportunities: DAAD, Fulbright and France scholarships

Access to over thirty analogue and digital workshops of the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart (ABK) after prior instruction by the workshop teaching staff.

We are sensitive to different levels of perception and mutual exchange. At the same time, we have great respect for the specific knowledge and skills of the core disciplines of art, architecture, design and restoration. Respect, appreciation and trust are a matter of course for us. We attach great importance to participation, exchange and dialogue. For this, we have structures and locations that are institutionalised, but we also create new spaces and formats. We communicate and negotiate important questions, processes and decisions transparently.
