The undergraduate architecture of the School of Architecture and Design enjoys the highest honor in the world architecture school, and is parallel to Harvard, Yale and Columbia University. (Source: Design Intelligence). LumenHAUS, the future energy-saving residential building designed and built by Virginia Tech teachers and students, won the best architectural design award of American Institute of Architects (AIA), the architectural design award of the energy-saving residential competition of the US Department of Energy, and the gold medal of the International Building Energy Efficiency Decathlon Competition (Madrid, Spain).

The main campus of Virginia Tech is located in Blacksburg town in the southwest of Virginia, the United States. It has 8 colleges, including the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Architecture and Urban Studies, the College of Arts and Social Sciences, Pamplin Business School, the College of Engineering, the College of Natural Resources, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Veterinary Medicine, and graduate schools, nearly 100 departments, It can award 60 bachelor's degrees, 140 master's degrees and doctor's degrees. As a result of the polytechnic background, traditional disciplines such as agriculture, engineering, architecture, forestry and veterinary medicine of Virginia Tech are still its strongest majors, and most of its departments rank among the top 20 in the United States, while architecture majors of Virginia Tech are among the top two popular departments in the United States. At the same time, as the predecessor of the military academy, the Florida Institute of Technology is also one of the six institutions of higher learning in the United States that retain the Corps of Cadets tradition. Florida Institute of Technology has started to establish a medical school in Roanoke in 2007, and is expected to start enrollment in 2009 or 2010.

U.S.A Virginia Tech Major Settings:

School of Architecture and Urban Design ：

Architecture, art and art history, architectural engineering, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, public management policy center.

industrial design

Virginia Tech emphasizes that the extension and development of the design studio within the studio is the basis for obtaining professional education experience in industrial design architecture. The process materials and their relationship with the industrial design concept are formed in daily studio discussions. Design feedback academic discussion topic speeches allow students to access a broader range of modern art and history issues.

During the four years of study, Virginia Tech requires every student to complete the final graduation work. Students can complete works independently Virginia Tech focuses on topics and fields selected by students and can produce a wide range of works to show students' comprehensive understanding of design, production and communication.

Landscape Architecture

Landscape Architecture Combining art and science, its curriculum structure is challenging and diverse to help you create amazing outdoor space in the future. The theoretical research scope of landscape architecture is very wide. In theory, it focuses on the relationship between architecture and environment from the ecological, social, psychological and aesthetic aspects when designing human settlements.

The scope of landscape architecture practice is also very wide; It includes landscape environmental planning in regional ecological environment, landscape planning in urban planning, scenic area planning, garden green space planning, urban design, garden plant design in architecture and environmental art, landscape environmental art and other different levels of work. The work objects involved can range from the overall urban form to parks, streets, squares, green space and single buildings, as well as sculptures From macro to micro level, sketches, signs, street furniture, etc.
