Architectural Studio III

Catalog description

This advanced studio explores an architectural project through extended design research and in-depth building design propositions. Engaging with a variety of contemporary architectural design topics, students analyze and synthesize human, socio-cultural, contextual, technical, and regulatory forces. Project work includes quantitative investigation of environmental impacts and articulation of mitigation strategies. Independent research methodologies are supported, and student work is expected to achieve the quality of a well-developed architectural design thesis and design proposition.
