TheDepartment of Architecture is part of theFaculty of Architecture and History of Art in theUniversity of Cambridge. Both Departments are housed in Scroope Terrace onTrumpington Street, Cambridge.

The department has attracted numerous guest lecturers includingLouis Kahn,Zaha Hadid,Kenneth Frampton,Alvar Aalto,Le Corbusier andYasmeen Lari.
ARCSOC is the Department's Architecture Society, hosting club nights,[2][3] as well as guest lectures and highly popular life-drawing evenings.[4] The society entirely self-funds, organises, and designs the Department's end-of-year exhibition, typically held in London. Reviewing the 2017 edition held atBargehouse OXO Tower for theArchitects' Journal, James Soane praised the "skilful explorations of materiality and narrative" on display.[5] In 2024 the end-of-year exhibition returns to Cambridge and will be held in the Department andKettle's Yard.
