Architecture The Architecture Department examines how design of the physical environment can repair the natural environment, regenerate communities and elevate the human spirit. Broad societal challenges are addressed through the lens of specific clients, locations and ecosystems. Established in 1914, the UO School of Architecture and Allied Arts was one of the first to break away from Beaux-Arts pedagogy to emphasize non-competitive, individualized education. Faculty are committed to creating a student-centered learning community that embraces multiple viewpoints. It is a department in which learning, research, and professional activity inform each other; in which new ideas and established traditions are in dialogue. The department thrives on interdisciplinary academic partnerships in Eugene and engages in robust partnerships with professionals, government agencies and non-profit organizations in Portland and around the globe. Department strengths include energy-efficient buildings, timber construction, housing design, and urbanism. Historic Preservation The School of Architecture & Environment's Historic Preservation program—the oldest such program on the West Coast—operates out of the University of Oregon’s Portland campus, where students can study the city’s rich physical and social heritage and participate in the dynamic planning processes that are shaping this center of urban sustainability. Students take classes in the White Stag Building, an award-winning adaptive reuse of several historic commercial buildings, and apply the skills they learn in real-world projects that help communities understand and protect their cultural resources and traditions. Areas of expertise include: introduction to historic preservation, survey and inventory, national register nomination, preservation economics, land use ethics, adaptive use studio, building documentation and analysis, cultural resource management/public policies in preservation, preservation technology, and American architectural history. Interior Architecture Interior architecture integrates critical analysis with creative thinking to revitalize, reuse, and adapt buildings to resonate with users and provide uplifting, healthy, and sustainable interior environments. The curriculum emphasizes design at all scales from large scale adaptive reuse to furniture design and fabrication. Students and faculty collaborate closely with faculty in the Department of Architecture as they share required and elective coursework with professional programs in architecture. The Department of Interior Architecture offers fully-accredited professional degree programs in Architecture (BIarch and MIarch accredited by CIDA the Council for Interior Design Accreditation) as well as post-professional degrees: the Master of Science in Interior Architecture. Landscape Architecture The Department of Landscape Architecture is the oldest landscape architecture department on the West Coast. UO is the only university in Oregon that offers professionally accredited landscape architecture degrees, and one of only three universities in the nation to offer BLA, MLA and PhD degrees. The curriculum emphasizes understanding landscapes across multiple scales and contexts to support innovative design, critical thinking, and real-world problem solving. The department encourages engagement-based teaching, through cutting-edge initiatives such as the Urban Farm and the Fuller Center for Productive Landscapes, and partners with groups like UO’s Sustainable Cities Initiative and the American Society of Landscape Architects to collaborate on projects that address pressing issues in actual landscapes with real stakeholders.
