The main objective of the visit was to learn from the UNISA’s unique course titled Architectural Surveying and how, using the rich architectural heritage of Italy as basis, it employs the latest digital technologies to measure and document the built artifact. This was achieved by observing final year (5th year-Building Engineering and Architecture master’s degree) Architectural Surveying course oral exams, learning about various digital surveying methods, and visiting the following heritage sites to learn more about Italy’s heritage and how it is conserved and communicated to the public: Cimitero Monumentale del Verano Parco archeologico del Colosseo (Archaeological Park of the Colosseum) Sant’Eustachio Pompeii Paestum Villa Rufolo Naples Teggiano The visit created a unique opportunity for the TUT academic staff to meet and interact with their counterparts from UNISA.

As a discipline, architecture falls in the realm of creativity. It has its roots in both the arts and science. It demands a love for precision, geometry and order, as well as a passion for mystery, wonder and the unknown. An architectural office is an informal and colourful environment. Projects are usually a team effort involving everybody in the office, as well as many other people, such as clients, consultants and contractors. With lecturers who are experts in architecture, we commit to providing students with the best experience in architectural education and life skills in general.

The Department of Architecture offers two undergraduate courses in architecture, namely B Tech: Architecture Professional, course code BTPS09, and B Tech: Architectural Technology, course code BTAQ95. The first three years of both courses are identical, thereafter students follow a different curriculum.
