    ARCHIFOTOArchitecture is generally described as a vessel that houses our daily lives. However, photography, while deeply related to architecture, has its own realm, looking at our daily lives from a new angle. A new perspective through photography leads you to a place of rest after a hard day's work. The rest and relaxation you feel while viewing the everyday scenery revealed through photographs will give you great strength for a new life. As an architectural study circle founded in March 1986, ARCHIFOTO aims to deepen your understanding of architecture through the art of architectural photography and to position you as a mature architect through close relationships between senior and junior members.

    ACEThe ACE soccer circle, which started in 2012, was created for all those who love sports in the Department of Architectural Engineering. The sport of soccer is played not by individuals but by groups, which helps to form bonds with the same team and foster cooperation. It also helps to improve physical fitness, which is necessary for studying during college life. Although the main circle activity is soccer, there are many aspects of the circle where active communication and a free atmosphere are expected to promote friendship between seniors and juniors, as well as with their peers. We also hold matches with other departments, and through the matches we can interact with other departments other than our own. The main purpose of ACE (ACE) is to foster unity in the architectural engineering department.
