The Faculty of Architecture and Design is a reputable faculty dedicated to advancing scientific research and innovative design with a focus on resilience. It aims to foster and sustain transformative ecosystems grounded in justice, equality, and compassion. The faculty offers three programs: Architecture, Product Design, and a Master’s in Architecture, each designed to produce professionals skilled in creating disaster-resilient built environments, sustainable design innovations, and approaches rooted in creativity, empathy, inclusivity, and professional ethics.

Academic development is conducted through intensive laboratory-based activities. The undergraduate Architecture program features four laboratories: (1) Design Planning Laboratory, (2) Urban and Settlement Environment Laboratory, (3) Building Science Laboratory, and (4) History, Theory, Technology & Design Studies Laboratory. The undergraduate Product Design program includes five laboratories: (1) Product Design Laboratory, (2) Culture and Craft Laboratory, (3) Inclusive Design Laboratory, (4) Design Entrepreneurship Laboratory, and (5) Material Engineering Laboratory. The Master’s in Architecture program has a dedicated Disaster and Socio-Inclusive Laboratory.

All laboratories within the Faculty of Architecture and Design are developed in alignment with the principles of Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (the three pillars of higher education), which emphasize enhancing teaching materials, conducting impactful research, and generating intellectual property and patents. The dynamic academic environment within the institution shapes the faculty’s character and uniqueness.
