Structural education in Belgian Civil Engineering Architecture programs:the case of UCLouvain
The education of civil engineering architecture in Belgium embodies a strong engineering focus.Its curriculum empha-sizes a balance between architecture and structural engineering training,aiming to nurture architects with interdisciplinary skills.The training system emphasizes build-ing students'mathematical foundations and structural analysis skills,offering a compre-hensive structural engineering curriculum.Its distinctive serial courses of"Architectural Structures"are dedicated to bridging the gap between architectural and structural training.Through systematic theoretical and design instruction,these bridging courses foster students'skills in architectural struc-tural design.
