Assistant / Associate Professor in Architectural and Urban Design
ADA UniversityDepartment: School of Design & Architecture
Brief information about the School of Design & Architecture at ADA University
The School of Design and Architecture (SDA) is outlined in collaboration with the Politecnico di Milano in the framework of the Italy-Azerbaijan University initiative. It will offer bachelor's, master's and non-degree certificate programs in Design, Architecture and Urban Planning. ADA University is intertwined with the country’s plans, where economic and cultural growth lead the way. The urban areas are growing, and the country landscape and profile are evolving.
The School of Design and Architecture will share the polytechnic approach to Design, Architecture, and Urban Planning. Graduates will gain foundational disciplinary knowledge and practical experience, thanks to fundamental courses and the learning-by-doing educational approach that pursues up-to-date development lines in project-based design studios. The School of Design and Architecture offers an international level of study suitable for entering the job market as a junior architect or designer.
More information about SDA can be found at www.ada.edu.az/en/schools/sda
Why apply for this position
The School of Design and Architecture is the place for constant education and innovation, where students will develop the knowledge and skills to contribute to the country’s goal. Indeed, the School of Design and Architecture will raise a new generation of Designers, Architects, and Urban Planners who will participate in the country’s progress, sharing and making the vision for it.
For this purpose, the School of Design and Architecture will collaborate with public institutions to promote coordinated efforts toward progress, indicating priorities, developing projects, and anticipating future scenarios. Furthermore, the School of Design and Architecture will collaborate with local communities to promote the country’s development beyond Baku and with global partners to reach a multicultural environment and international status.
Due to this ambitious program, joining SDA will be an opportunity for academic growth and engagement within a new international community of designers and architects.

Teaching Position Details in Architectural and Urban Design
Programme: Bachelor of Architecture
Year: 2nd
Courses: Architectural Composition module (Architectural and Building Technology Design Studio) / Architectural Composition module (Architectural and Urban Design Studio)
Description of the Disciplinary Area:
The field of Architectural Composition, within the training course, aids in acquiring competencies inherent to the theories, techniques and instruments of design of architectural and building artefacts.
Numerous disciplines contribute to the graduate's training through teachings directly aimed at the critical-applicative dimension, which is experimented with in the workshops. In the three-year didactic experience, within the framework of the knowledge and methodologies supporting the architectural project, the student gets an articulated critical awareness of the different aspects that condition the design choices on new construction and interventions in the existing environment.
In the sphere of architectural and urban design, the student also learns to analyse architecture and urban examples concerning their historical, geographical and physical context and to read the relationships between the architectural artefact and the morphological characteristics of the building. Finally, alongside the theories, techniques and instruments of design, the basic skills in project communication and teamwork are taught.
Description of the courses
- Architectural Composition module (Architectural and Building Technology Design Studio)
Semester: First
Start dates: February 2026 (teaching starts September 2026)
The Architectural and Building Technology Design Studio aims at fostering – within the strong integration with the architectural design discipline - the ability to handle the coherence of spatial and conceptual design with its materiality and tectonics. Alongside the studio, the student deepens the interrelation between constructive and structural principles and the architectural form through the development of the design aspects related to the constructive systems, the execution details, addressing as well environmental requirements and regulations constraints. The main educational objective of the studio is to provide the student with specific design skills and knowledge acquisition by studying existing projects as case studies and references for managing and controlling the building configuration and the setting of its technical and construction systems.
Basic knowledge required to teach the course:
- Ability to teach the student appropriate skills for developing the project at different scales of detailing and the proper representation techniques, deepening the architectural design into its material dimension and technical feasibility.
- Ability to explain the integrated approach, matching the typological and spatial alternatives of the design proposal in coherence with the complexity of user constraints and environmental requirements and with the relative technological and constructive choices.
- Capacity to demonstrate proper management of an integrated system of constraints (environmental, regulatory, structural, constructing, etc.), together with the assessment of the design principles and the architectural languages to consciously deepen the project at different scales of representation according to its material dimension and typological, technological and morphological features.
- Architectural Composition module (Architectural and Urban Design Studio)
Semester: Second
Start dates: October 2026 (teaching starts January 2027)
The Architecture and Urban Design studio fosters the relationships between architectural design and the urban scale through an interdisciplinary approach to urbanism. The studio's primary goal is to enable students to approach the theoretical bases and main urban design research methods and apply them to the design practice.
The student acquires the ability to deepen some relevant issues of the design process concerning the urban environment and landscape, particularly by focusing on the historical evolution of the urban plans and projects and the typo-morphological study of the context settlements.
Theoretical and design sessions provide a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between Architecture and the territorial context by addressing the various positions of the urban planning discipline and its variegated approaches related to political and technical cultures, socio-economic systems, and spatial patterns.
Basic knowledge required to teach the course:
- Ability to teach students to propose a complex and specialised architectural organism from the point of view of the urban context and the functional program, preferring the theme of public architecture with collective functions.
- Capacity to guide the design process in the Studio, through the control of different scales of intervention, taking advantage of the previous studios' experiences, from the city scale to the architectural scale to that of constructive systems.
- Ability to teach the students to delve into some relevant nodes of the design process and architectural composition, such as the relationships with the built environment and the open spaces of the city and the landscape, and the consideration of the users' needs and the regulatory constraints.
