The Aarhus School of Architecture (Arkitektskolen Aarhus) was founded in 1965 in Århus, Denmark. Along with the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture in Copenhagen, it is responsible for the education of architects in Denmark. The school has approximately 750 students.
Teaching at the Aarhus School of Architecture is studio-based, emphasising group work and project work. The school places an emphasis on practice-based teaching, while maintaining an artistic approach to architecture. Teaching is organised around a number of research labs, based on on-going and close dialogue with teachers. Workshop facilities allow students to explore their ideas in 3D and in 1:1. Other resources include a specialised library, a materials shop and a robot lab.
In 2016 the school's research was restructured as three research labs:
Research Lab 1: Territories, Architecture, and Transformation
Research Lab 2: Technology and Building Cultures
Research Lab 3: Emerging Architecture
Research is carried out within the school’s three focus areas: habitation, transformation, and sustainability – as well as in the field of research by design.
Besides Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD programmes the school offers supplementary education for architects and similar professional groups at various levels. Research at the school is also to a high degree practice-based, i.e. based on cooperation with architectural practices located internationally and locally. The high concentration of architectural practices in Aarhus provides a sound basis for this cooperation.
The Aarhus School of Architecture is an educational institution under the Danish Ministry for Science, Innovation and Higher Education.
The school is situated in the Nørre Stenbro neighborhood on Nørreport. The campus comprises the listed building known as Raae's House (Danish: Raaes Gård) from 1798 and a newer building from 1997 with auditorium and an exhibition hall.
