CMU’s five-year NAAB-accredited BArch fuses studio craft, digital fabrication, and environmental technology. Students prototype kinetic façades in the dFAB Lab, simulate daylight and energy with parametric tools, and co-create equitable housing designs in Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Study-abroad options in Copenhagen and Kigali foreground climate resilience and social justice, while interdisciplinary seminars tackle AI-assisted generative design and embodied-carbon accounting.
