Brief description of the program: Urban environment of a city undergoes constant transformation under the influence of economic, technical achievements and political factors. The growth of urban boundaries is followed by emergence of territories to be reevaluated, such as historical zones, former military bases, territories of factories, which require a special complex approach, rehabilitation-regeneration, functional, planning and spatial reorganization. These problems affected almost all historical cities. The idea of ​​this program was developed in 2003-2006 as a result of cooperation between Tbilisi State Academy of Arts (Georgia) and the teachers’ training program at the architectural faculty of the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany.
The master's program of urban architecture combines traditions and innovations in this field (theoretical, practical, and research directions of urban architecture, structural and technical systems, peculiarities of preservation and development of landscape architecture in urban environment, environmental problems, the study of social needs, and management). The program is based on modern methods of teaching and learning and promotes development of intellectual, and creative abilities of students.
A graduate of the above-mentioned master's program will be able to create an innovative project by adjusting a model to the environment, taking into account the specifics of the field, and integrating obtained information (allocation of small territories from a wide range of research areas on the basis of spatial analysis of urban structure and social survey).
