This article is based on an analysis of residential building designs made by students of the Faculty of Architecture at Gdańsk University of Technology (FA-GUT), Poland, and on the results of a survey conducted among these students. The purpose of the survey was to verify the broad, interdisciplinary knowledge of the students required in preparation for taking up design issues, as well as their ability to use this knowledge in the design of residential buildings. When examining these issues, particular emphasis was placed on the possibility of creating methods of architectural education that would allow today’s students and future engineers to be appropriately trained, and thus become aware of the need to understand construction requirements, functional systems and their flexibility, principles of universal design and proxemics, economics of construction and use, energy efficiency and environmental protection, as well as psychological and spiritual needs of potential residents and other users. Respect for the context of the place also needs to be developed, and creative thinking and searching for architectural beauty encouraged and facilitated.
