School of Architecture, UNAM
The School of Architecture at UNAM is one of the leading schools of architecture and design in Mexico. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate studies in architecture, landscape architecture, urbanism and industrial design.
The school is one of the follow-up institutions of the former Academia de San Carlos, the other one being the School of Arts and Design. The Academia de San Carlos offered studies in architecture since 1791, under control of the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico. In 1910, Porfirio Diaz's government grants autonomy to the university, thus the academy was reorganized as the Escuela Nacional de Arquitectura (National School of Architecture) and the Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas (National School of Art).
The school was the only Architecture School in the country from the 18th century until 1947. During the last 150 years the architects who have graduated from UNAM have gone on to become the designers of many of the buildings that shape the cities of México. These architects also helped to establish various Architecture schools around the country
In 1954 the architecture school moved to its current facilities in Ciudad Universitaria as Facultad de Arquitectura. The first postgraduate studies in both architecture and urbanism were opened in 1968. In 1969 the school opened its undergraduate program in industrial design, and in 1985 the undergraduate programs in urbanism and landscape architecture and postgraduate studies in industrial design.
The school is located in Ciudad Universitaria in Mexico City, near the School of Engineering, UNAM. It is spread across two separate building complexes, the largest of which houses the undergraduate programs in architecture and landscape architecture, the architecture library, a cafeteria, the Estefanía Chávez Barragán theater and the Museo Universitario de Ciencias y Artes (Science and Arts University Museum), as well as the main administrative offices. A separate building houses the graduate programs and the undergraduate programs in industrial design and urbanism, two libraries specializing in industrial design and in doctorate-level research, and a cafeteria.
The school offers 4 undergraduate programs: Bachelor of Architecture, Bachelor of Industrial Design, Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and Bachelor of Urbanism. The degrees granted in the masters programs include the Master of Architecture, Master of Industrial Design and Master of Urbanism. It also offers the Doctor of Architecture, the Doctor of Urbanism and Architectural Specializations in Housing, Lightweight Structures and Real estate appraisal.
In addition to its degree programs, the school of Architecture hosts one research center and numerous research laboratories, Archives and Collections and research initiatives. The school publishes the bi-annual Academia XXII, Bitácora, and other design books and studio works.
The CIAUP is a research center specialized in Architecture History, Theory, Urban Planning and Landscape Architecture in Mexico an Latin America, which is disseminated in publications of high academic quality. In addition, it contributes to the training, updating and academic improvement of undergraduate and graduate students of the highest level in the fields of knowledge that they work on.
