The School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, RASA, is one of the two Danish School of Architecture and one of the world’s oldest schools of architecture. The academy was built as an addition to the painting and drawing academy founded by King Christian VI and King Frederik VI in 1738 and 1748 respectively, and was inspired by the first European, royal academy of fine arts, which was founded in Paris in 1648. Founded in 1754 as ’The Royal Danish Painting, Sculpture and Building Academy’, the academy’s purpose was to educate both artists and craftsmen in the three disciplines under the same roof.

In the 1960’s the school became an independent unit with its own management and achieved the status of an institution of higher learning, issuing a diploma equal to a university Master’s degree in architecture, while maintaining its artistic and professional status within the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
