About Department of Architecture and Design
The Department of Architecture and Design at the University of New York Tirana is a vibrant community where
aspiring architects, interior designers, and graphic artists come together to explore the limitless possibilities
of design.
As the newest addition to UNYT's esteemed tradition, our department leverages a competitive edge by offering
greater flexibility to adapt to the rapid changes in the creative industries. We are committed to developing
ethical, competent, and globally engaged citizens who not only excel in design, but also possess the adaptability
and leadership skills needed in our fast-paced world.
While UNYT's motto is "Educating Tomorrow's Leaders," our department's mission can be summarized in the motto
"Educating Tomorrow's Designers," which underscores our commitment to educating socially responsible individuals
who understand the profound impact of design on society and are committed to contributing to a better, more
inclusive world through their craft. We strive to be a department that values diversity of thought, embraces
humility in learning, and addresses contemporary challenges with innovative design solutions.
Our commitment extends beyond design excellence, permeating our research and teaching efforts to instill values
that transcend the boundaries of the discipline. As scholars, we are committed to multidisciplinary teaching,
multicultural thinking, and exposure to real-world challenges in contemporary societies. We pursue a critical
examination of society that enriches our educational approach and encourages students to consider the broader
societal implications of their designs.
Our academic staff bring a wealth of national and international experience to the classroom, combining practical
expertise with a passion for teaching and research. Through a collaborative approach, students and faculty engage
in a shared journey of exploration, fostering a mature and proactive mindset that empowers students to be the
architects of their own careers.
In our inclusive environment, creativity flourishes and students are encouraged to discover and nurture their
unique design voices.
