The Head of the Direction: Giorgi Batiahsvili, Full Professor
Architecture is the art of designing and building, and an architect is an artist who conducts practical activities, creates living environment, building projects, supervises both the designing and construction works. To implement these activities it is necessary to have essential knowledge of not only main special subjects (architectural planning, city planning, landscape architecture, history of architecture, building constructions), but also of auxiliary subjects (mathematics, physics, mechanics, building and facing materials, descriptive geometry, drawing, painting, etc). Architecture is a kind of creative activity that establishes environment in an artistic way, resolves issues of its functional zoning. It unifies in itself fields of engineering, science and visual arts. The aim of the Direction is to provide students with complex theoretical and practical knowledge that will enable them to meet requirements of modern architecture within their competence.
