| What it is | This program combines studio art, architectural design, and materials science to explore how buildings and spaces are created and experienced. You'll study drawing, design principles, and the physical properties of construction materials alongside art history and theory. It suits students who want to work creatively with built environments — whether designing buildings, creating installations, or working in architectural practice — rather than pursuing fine art or architecture alone. | You study the creative and technical side of designing buildings and spaces, learning to sketch ideas, understand how structures work, and use design software. This program includes mandatory work terms where you apply classroom learning to real projects with architecture and design firms. It suits people who enjoy solving visual problems, thinking in three dimensions, and want hands-on experience before committing to a full architecture degree. | Architectural Studies teaches you how to design buildings and spaces, from sketching initial ideas to understanding how they're built and function. This program includes paid work terms where you apply what you're learning at real architecture firms alongside your classroom studies. It suits students who combine creative design thinking with interest in how buildings work technically and who want practical experience before or alongside their formal studies. | A BA Honours at Guelph lets you specialize in one of nine humanities and social science subjects — from English to Economics to Fine Art — while completing a standard four-year degree. The co-op option integrates paid work terms into your studies, letting you gain professional experience in your field alongside classroom learning. This suits students who want depth in a particular subject and prefer learning through both study and real-world application. |
