FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE
BUDAPEST UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND ECONOMICS
The Faculty of Architecture at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics focuses on training highly professional experts in architectural engineering who are aware of the social and cultural implications of their profession. Versatility is emphasised so that students will gain fundamental knowledge and
abilities in every possible field of architecture and be able to find work in a highly competitive job market,
and in any building- or design-related area of consulting, construction, and management. The 5-year program in English leads directly to an M.Sc. degree in Architecture and Architectural Engineering (Dipl. Ing.
Arch.), but it is also possible to graduate as a Bachelor of Science in Architecture.
Graduates of the Faculty of Architecture are qualified for a broad spectrum of architectural occupations:
• Design, construction and maintenance of residential, public, industrial and agricultural buildings;
• Reconstruction and the preservation of historical monuments;
• Urban design and settlement planning; and
• Administration of all these activities.
The curricula were organised on Swiss and German models. The Faculty has maintained these traditions for the last 40 years but provides additional European and international dimensions through guest lecturers from abroad, topical short courses, workshop seminars and exchange programs.
The five year program of the Faculty of Architecture taught in English is in full conformity with the fiveyear program provided in Hungarian, which after two years practice and experience is accepted for access
to EUR-ING title.
General Course
The year program in English, called the General Course preceides the Degree Program. It is designed
to develop the skills of students from abroad so they will be at no disadvantage in meeting the Faculty's
exacting educational standards. Students are introduced to various aspects of the profession they have
selected, and they concentrate on studying English and basic technical subjects such as mathematics and
freehand drawing. Students who show enough skills at the Placement Test can automatically (immediatly)
start the Degree Program.
Academic Program of the Faculty of Architecture: B.Sc./M.Sc. Studies
The two-level B.Sc, M.Sc training in the English speaking section of the Faculty of Architecture is realized in a split-up system, in full comformity with the Hungarian speaking section. For B.Sc degree students
has to accumulate min 240 credit points, for M.Sc degree min 300 credit points by accomplishing the
obligatory subjects and gathening the remaining credit points by accomplishing elective subjects too. B.Sc
degree can be obtained in a minimum of four years, M.Sc degree in a minimum of five years of study.
Students, both international and Hungarian, who have a command of both languages can choose from
either program. The participation of Hungarian students in the program given in English has obvious advantages. It eases the integration of international students into the society, which surrounds them during the
years of their studies. It also attracts students from European, American and other universities world-wide
to study in Budapest within the the framework of the International Student Exchange Program and other
agreements. Hungarian students likewise gain the opportunity to study at schools of architecture abroad.
These exchanges will become a powerful factor in achieving real convertibility among educational systems
world-wise and, eventually, mutual international recognition of degrees.
Master's Program
Students who have earned B.Sc. degrees in other schools of architecture can join the Master's Program.
Programs will be tailored to their previous education and special needs. In general they are admitted to the
last two years of the five years program, and they have to collect minimum 120 credits. These studies
encompass a wide range of complex design topics and elective subjects grouped in three directions:
Structural Design - buildings and other structures.
Architectural Design - buildings with different functions, their interiors and sorroundings; the preservation of historical buildings.
Town Planning - urban design, settlement planning and management.
Note: The Faculty of Architecture reserves the right of changing the Curricula.

Graduation
Graduation from the University is based on the successful completion of examinations in all subjects
and on the successful defence of a diploma project before a Final Examination Board. The examinations
are public and the Board consists of professors and eminent specialists in the profession. Diploma projects
are prepared in the last semester under departmental guidance and can be submitted only by students with
an "absolutorium" (university leaving certificate). The diploma project is expected to reflect its author's
familiarity with technical and aesthetic knowledge fundamental to architectural practice, and his/her creativity in applying it. Currently, international agreements make it possible for certain Hungarian students to
prepare and defend their diploma projects in the university of another country. Students from abroad can
correspondingly prepare and defend their thesis projects under the guidance of the Faculty of Architecture
at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics.

Introduction to Building construction
Introduction to Architecture
BMEEPESA101
Vörös Ferenc DLA
This subject introduces all major building construction
components (walls, foundations, floors, roofs, skeleton
frames, stairs, ramps, doors and windows) and primary building engineering service systems. During lectures, the building
is considered as a composition of spaces with different functions, separated by special surfaces. The course aims to introduce and explain the grammar of architectural design through
practical tasks, such as the survey of one's own flat.
Concurrently, the basic dependant factors of the creative
design process are described. Students are acquanted with
technical terminology as well as the role and use of various
construction solutions including their classifications. The
above shall assist students with both starting independent
design exercise work and the continuing of building construction studies in greater detail.

Benkõ Melinda PhD
The subject of founding character which consists of 12 lectures strives to embrace every important domain of the architecture, but at the same time it can't undertake full detailing
of certain aspects. This course deals generally with the architecture and its aim is to present its complexity and at the same
time its beauty as well. Most important object of the theme is
to arouse the professional interest, and to maintain this interest, and to increase the architectural basic culture, and to prepare for the reception of the later special architectural courses. The possible reachable aim is to open the students' aspect,
to increase their intellectual capacity and to make conscious
of the multi-coated process of the architecture. Subject matters of the lectures are the followings: Architect, Construction,
Nature, City, Man, Time, Form, Techniques, Science and Art.
Space Composition
BMEEPKOA101
Prof. Ferenc Cságoly DLA
Space composition is the creative course of the first semester, during which the students study the basics of the composition of (architectural) space. The aim of the course on one
hand is to develop one's creativity, on the other hand getting
a deeper knowledge about the nature of creating architectural space through space-composition exercises. This knowledge will be the basis of the process of architectural design in
the forthcoming semesters.

Design Methodology
BMEEPKOA402
Prof. Ferenc Cságoly DLA
Design Methodology is the theoretical course of the fourth
term, dealing with theoretical and practical metodology of
architectural design. The point of Theoretical Design
Metodology is the design as a modellable process. The
process of architectural design thus can be compared to an
informatical system, so for making the methodics more clear
the devices of informatics can be used here as well. Practical
Design Metodology closely connected with the design
process itself shows the process of architectural design. The
practical part is to simulate reality, while widening the borders of the methodology. Through designing a fictional building some practical problems and solutions can be discussed.
Special Design Processes go along with solving special exercises, designing special buildings. Special methods of building-reconstructions are discussed, along with the design of
technologigally or structurally determined buildings. Because
of its importance a special lecture is on ecological design.

Urban Design 1
BMEEPUIA501
Gábor Locsmándi , Árpád Szabó DLA, Sándor Pálfy DLA
The subject is the theoretical course of the fifth semester,
with 2 hours lecture weekly.
Man during historical times has always lived in communities, so his life has been determined by his relation to the rest
of the community, while at the same time a house erected is
also determined by its built environment.
The same way as a man cannot be separated from his
community, a building cannot be separated from its urban
environment. The architectural quality can be well described
by relation of the building to its environment.
The main scenes of the lives of communities are the settlements, where the most developed examples are cities. Why
are settlements formed or deserted, why are they developing
or declining? What should be the ratio of planned and
unplanned elements in a settlement? What is the role of private and public interests, of private and public properties in
the development of a settlement? How is a city functioning
and what are the most efficient means of its operation?
We are looking for the answers to these - sometimes philosophical - questions and looking for the relation between the
inseparable categories of building and city, architecture and
urban development.

Based on the basic profile of the Department of Urban
Planning and Design, the Urban Design II. is the integrate
continuation of the Urban Design I. course and its main goal
is to use in practice the theories learnt formerly.
The design task: After the analysis of a bigger urban environment, the task is to prepare an urban design concept for a
bigger urban unit in group work of at least 3-4 students, and
later develop it into an urban scaled architectural design
(public space design or development plan) by individual
work. The tasks can deal with urban renewal programs like
rehabilitation of inner city areas, restoration of historic quarters or upgrading the grey zone between the peripheries of the
densely built urban core and the suburban settlements.
The site of the design task is the same settlement of urban
environment for all the students, since the studio work is
accompanied by common site visits, lectures and project presentations, where the possibility to learn from each other is
also an important factor.

The course is in strong relationship with the sixth semester's other course "Department's Design I". There are three
small exercises in this term, based on the theme of: modeingl,
construction, visuality. All three of these exercises are based
on the exercises made during "Department's Design I", by
solving or developing some parts of those. Thus the studens
has the opportunity to experience more the richness of the
desing process. The first exercise deals with the question of
creating a mode and its role in the architectural praxis and in
the experience in the human cognition. The second exercise
is construction, this one is examining the relationship
between the already made model and the main space-structure of the ongoing design "small complex". he third small
exercise is called visuality, during which the student makes a
detailed drawing of an ornament chosen by the consultant
and the student together.

(600-1200 m2) public building is to be designed, focusing on
three main principles, which are: contextuality, spatial organisation and ornament. Thus the course is divided into three
parts, each closed by a study plan. The focus of the first part
is contextuality, which means the relationship between the
building and its surroundings. The motto for the second part
is spatial organisation, the aim of this part is focusing on the
function, its identity. The closing part of the semester deals
with ornament, namely two aspect of this: stuctural ornament
and the ornament of the surfaces.

Complex Design 1 *
BMEEPXXA821
Péter Fejérdy DLA
The studios first semester target is to realise the design of a
public building to such a level that it could be submitted for
town planning approval based upon a real location. The
design being developed both in drawings at a scale of 1:100
and written specification documents with the assistance of
architectural consultants. The students work should fit the
requirements of a given brief and be proved by academic
research into buildings and functions of similar type. With the
assistance of Tutors from the associated teaching departments
the design should be proved from the point of view of
Structural Engineering, Construction Technology, Mechanical
Engineering and Environmental Engineering solutions choice of tutors open to student. At the semesters end the
design should be presented on drawn design boards accompanied by a bound specification document. These should
present the analysis, design solutions, technical solutions and
required proposals for development of the project. A scale
model of the building will also be required. Grades for this
project will be distributed as follows: Architectural Design
60%, Structural Engineering 10%, Construction Technology
10%, Mechanical Engineering 10 % and Environmental
Engineering 10%.

The second semester will focus on the development of
project from Complex Design I. to a level that could be used
a production information ( Construction) documents. Plans at
a scale of 1:50 accompanied by detail drawings at a larger
scale (1:10,1:5...), with details regarding interior design and
landscape elements. In addition to the architectural solutions
the design should be detailed regarding Structural
Engineering, Construction Technology, Mechanical
Engineering and Environmental Engineering with assistance
from tutors at respective departments. The target being to
realise a complex comprehensive design solution that could
be realised onsite as a real project.
