Architecture B.Sc. at RWTH Aachen University

Architects plan rooms and design spaces – rooms, buildings, municipalities, cities, or even landscapes. They take into consideration all of the technical, aesthetic, and social aspects, that guide their planning to defined goals. Buildings should look nice, but they should also be functional, sustainable, reasonably priced, and be stable for the long term.
