    The project aims at creating integrative, multi-disciplinary, people-centered, EG/EU accredited undergraduate and professional development programs in Architecture and Urban Design for developing a new generation, who is capable to initiate a paradigm shift in the role of architecture and urban design from aesthetic-dominated into an INTEGRATIVE multidisciplinary, PEOPLE-CENTRED domain, building on solid ICT enabling technology foundation, and apply acquired knowledge and skills in BLENDING architecture and urban design core knowledge, with SOCIAL and ENVIRONMENTAL essential ingredients to initiate educated, scientific-based migration from dominating informal patterns in EG into an enabling, supportive and adaptive environment. The undergraduate program (344 ECTS), 92 ECTS of which are university-core courses, and the discipline-specific 252 ECTS are constructed in a modular design, integrating architecture and urban planning core courses (144 ECTS) with Structural and Construction Systems (18 ECTS), Building Ecology (24 ECTS), Human Behavior (12 ECTS), Contemporary City (12 ECTS) and a supporting Practicum modules, bridging the traditional gaps among different professional stakeholders in the field. Virtual Architecture Studio for immersive shared learning environment hosting 3D scanned EG sites is developed. 4 professional development courses (6 ECTS each) targeting practitioners in integrative applications in Building Ecology, Human Behavior and Contemporary City are developed. The targets are undergraduate students in schools of engineering and fine/applied arts as well as professional architects. The plan is to start running the program starting second year of the project in parallel at participating EG institutions to account for fine adjustments. A gap analysis will be developed and followed by comprehensive course development. A wide community impact is expected as outlined by various stakeholders from the higher and pre-university education communities.
