Program Overview

In our increasingly digital-driven built environment, a degree in Architectural Design & Digital Architecture Program is the only route in Egypt and the Middle East to a rewarding career that explore the intersection of architecture and technology. The Architectural Design & Digital Architecture program at GU offers a unique learning experience that blends computational modelling and digital fabrication to solve architectural problems. Benefit from our industry partnerships with industrial entities and expert guest lecturers as you gain the skills necessary to excel in this growing field and call for better design solutions on:

  • IMMERSIVE TECHNOLOGY THAT CHANGES THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN PROCESS:AI, ML, VR and 3D printed construction will significantly expand the limits of architecture and construction.
  • THE SMART CITIES DESIGN: Big data is essential to understanding how people in cities move, use of energy, the interaction of various aspects of infrastructure, and much more. 
  • ECO-FRIENDLY ARCHITECTURE: Only by having an economic focus through multiple facets of the architectural industry, we hope to protect our future environments and climate.

Join our program and challenge your curious and creative mind as you change the way you think about the design process. You’ll explore contemporary issues in architectural modelling, from design to fabrication, including clean manufacturing and sustainable materials. With our program, you’ll be prepared to tackle the challenges facing the architecture industry today.
