Restoring reason, beauty, and trust in Architecture
Over the last thirty years, our school has developed a pedagogy that seeks cultural continuity, community, and harmony with nature through mindful design. It is a vital point of departure for addressing the urban and environmental changes that all societies currently face.
Our Purpose
At the University of Notre Dame, we educate architectural leaders of tomorrow to address critical issues facing the world today through the study of a new traditional architecture and urbanism.
By traditional we mean the range of architectural expression from the vernacular to the classical in all cultures.

Student Work
We teach students essential ideas and skills, conducive to seeking and formation of a sense of place, the clarity of urban morphology and building typology, the durability of materials and construction, always seeking continuity in the design of the natural and built world.
Sketching and drawing by hand are the primary means of initiating architectural composition. Computer graphics are used in a supportive role for representation.
