Overview

The Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design offers professional graduate programs in areas characterized by exceptional change. Globalization and the convergence of new media, new materials, and new building technologies have led to significant economic, technological, and aesthetic shifts. As a leading school of architecture, landscape, forestry, and design in North America, the Faculty is responding to these changing realities.

The greater Toronto region serves as a dynamic laboratory for critical studies and the exploration of design alternatives of international significance. Students also have access to Toronto’s large professional design community. Students and faculty are incredibly cosmopolitan in sensibility, hailing from every part of the world, with their work crossing geographic and cultural boundaries. The city’s multicultural networks and international connections make the Faculty a powerful place to start a career.

The Faculty has grown exceptionally in recent years with the hiring of new faculty and the revamping of its master's programs. With architecture, landscape architecture, forestry, urban design, and visual studies sharing facilities, the Faculty benefits from rich collaborations and crossover between related disciplines.

The growth has led to the recent construction of a new building which doubles the Faculty’s size and creates a new and unprecedented centre at the University of Toronto for education, research, and public outreach on architecture, urbanism, visual arts, landscape, and conservation.
