The Higher Technical School of Architecture was founded in 2005 as part of the University of Malaga, a 44 years old public institution.

The School develops higher education teaching (bachelor, master, doctoral studies) and scientific research. It claims its uniqueness from the innovative spirit in teaching and research, through continuous experimentation and social commitment with its territory. The School is an open project which offers the opportunity to share a common space of coexistence, training and enrichment to its whole community.

The academical program encourages collaborative and practical learning, thanks to the small number of students entering each year, and prepares future professionals for interdisciplinary, experimental and team work. Research and knowledge transfer seek to overcome the boundaries of discipline towards a more transversal knowledge in architecture, needed to meet the continuing challenges of society, in a rapidly changing world.
