Educational structure and content
Teaching at the Aarhus School of Architecture is studio-based, emphasising group work and project work. The school places an emphasis on practice-based teaching, while maintaining an artistic approach to architecture. Teaching is organised around a number of academic platforms, based on on-going and close dialogue with teachers.[2] Workshop facilities allow students to explore their ideas in 3D and in 1:1. Other resources include a specialised library and a materials shop.
The 11 platforms of the school are:

- Architectural Experimentation
- Architectural Heritage
- Urban Landscapes
- Context
- Design and Social Innovation
- Digital tectonics/Architectonical workshop
- Building Design
- Nordic Perspectives
- REform
- Sustainability
- Theory and History
Besides Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD programmes the school offers supplementary education for architects and similar professional groups at various levels. Research at the school is also to a high degree practice-based, i.e. based on cooperation with architectural practices located internationally and locally. The high concentration of architectural practices in Aarhus provides a sound basis for this cooperation.[3]
The Aarhus School of Architecture is an educational institution under the Danish Ministry for Science, Innovation and Higher Education.
