Overview

At the heart of the School’s mission is a commitment to the making of humane, beautiful, and sustainable neighborhoods and cities, and an appreciation of the critical interdependence of architectural language, building types, and urban placemaking. According to this view, the traditional city comprises a range of public and private buildings that seek, both individually and in combination, to enhance the physical, intellectual, and spiritual well being of its citizens while fostering social interaction and beneficial governance.

About this Degree

Depending on their civic purpose, the edifices that comprise the traditional city receive varying degrees of articulation from simple but dignified expressions for buildings that occupy the lower end of the civic spectrum to sophisticated classical compositions for buildings with a more prominent public role where elevated formal discourse is appropriate—a poetics of form that is rooted in regional historical monumental traditions. While reminding us of its origin in straight-forward construction, the classical formal repertoire represents an intellectual culture of design that has the capacity to adapt to a continually evolving social, economic, and technological context.

The School of Architecture’s vision is firmly grounded in the Catholic intellectual and spiritual traditions. It acknowledges that the core values that inform its understanding of what constitutes good architecture and urbanism are universal and have been adapted to a wide variety of cultures, material palettes, and climates across time. The School’s graduate students and Architecture and Urban Design graduate program alumni from University of Notre Dame represent a broad international and inter-faith community of individuals from diverse backgrounds.

A belief in something greater oneself, whether based in dedication to the environment, to the community, or to one’s faith, unifies this diverse group of students and alumni and provides a common foundation for both intellectual discussion and practical application.
