Program Description
Our cities are increasingly shaped and reshaped by an enormous amount of data that has emerged as a result of technological, social, and institutional innovations. This new situation poses several unprecedented challenges and has a significant impact on how we interact with both the physical and virtual worlds. How do architects and urban professionals respond to this disruptive change? How can we reinvent ourselves, embracing new knowledge and methodologies and harnessing new technologies and tools to stay relevant and regenerate our cities towards a resilient, equitable, and liveable future?
Tsinghua University's Urban Regeneration and Design Program is developed to address these questions. Fully taught in English, this program aims to equip graduates with strategic vision, cutting-edge knowledge, technological competence, innovative creativity, social responsibility, and all necessary skills to become future leaders and create better cities in and beyond Asia.

Students will develop exceptional skills in engineering design, communication, teamwork, scientific experimentation, as well as lifelong learning, enabling them to play critical roles in the global science and engineering fields.
1.1 Design education augmented by computing.
Architectural and urban design in the new era will have to engage with the opportunities opened by computer science and AI technologies.
