School of Architecture

The Bachelor’s degree program in Architecture operates at the Bezalel School of Architecture as a platform for innovation and creativity in practice and research.

The program operates in an integrative, multi-level and multi-disciplinary school, which serves to deepen the discipline of architectural practice while expanding the field of activity of the architect in the 21st century as a designer, planner, researcher, curator, choreographer, politician and more. To this end, the school promotes study, applied research, original creation, critical discussion and active involvement in a variety of issues, including social equality, climate change, the urban space, new technologies and artificial intelligence.

The program, operating within the local and global public discourse, is a space for open, critical and innovative discussion. As such, it affects both professional culture and public debate in Israel, which are connected to the discipline's role in constructing the built and open space here and in the larger world. This specific commitment to Israeli and global culture, society and politics is the source of working relationships and dialogue between academic and professional bodies in Israel and around the world.

The program prepares skilled and informed professionals with mastery of the theoretical, technological and practical aspects of the architectural profession and discipline, who, upon completion of their studies, can integrate into any advanced professional and academic environment in Israel and around the world.

Graduates of the program join leading local and international architectural firms, in positions in the public sector, engage in writing and journalism, teaching, academic research, as curators and more.

In the pursuit of raising a new generation of alert and knowledgeable architects, the program encourages a high level of awareness among its students. Our graduates leave with a heightened social sensitivity and a broad humanistic education, to become original and productive people of culture and art. They become politically and socially involved citizens who, as planners, aspire to redefine the architect's fields of knowledge and responsibility in the changing global environment of the 21st century.
