Architecture Construction City is a master's program taught in English at Politecnico di Torino, in Torino, Italy, running over 2 years. This field studies architecture at multiple scales, connecting the design of individual buildings with the construction techniques that realize them and the broader urban context in which they sit. Students typically study architectural design and building construction technology alongside subjects such as structural systems, urban design, and materials science. Coursework often addresses how architectural projects move from concept to construction, covering structural principles, construction detailing, and project management alongside the design theory that shapes how buildings relate to streets, neighborhoods, and cities. Because the program connects design with construction and urban scale, students also encounter topics like sustainable building practices, urban regeneration, and the technical coordination required to deliver complex architectural projects. Graduates commonly pursue careers as architects, construction managers, and urban designers, working on projects that range from individual buildings to larger urban interventions. Others move into roles in construction firms, architectural practices, and public agencies responsible for urban development and building oversight. Some continue toward doctoral research in architecture, construction technology, or urban design, given the technical and design grounding the program provides. The combination of design, construction, and city-scale thinking reflects the reality that architectural practice increasingly requires understanding how individual buildings function within larger urban systems and construction processes. Delivered in English in Torino, a city that has undergone significant urban and architectural transformation, the program is designed for students who already hold a first degree in architecture or a related field and want to deepen their understanding of construction and urban design over a 2-year master's course.

Studying in Turin offers international students a dynamic experience in the heart of Northern Italy.
