Health and Design Studio 3 HD Project Based Leaming (PBL)

Catalog description

This is the third Advanced Architecture Design Studio, ARCH 703C, in the Master of Science in Architecture, Health and Design program. This last Studio 3 - PBL, in continuity with but differing from Studio 1 and 2, will be a project based applied research studio during the summer session. The studio will culminate with a final project that consolidates the knowledge and skills learned in the earlier studios, core and elective courses enabling students to synthesize and develop a particular area of interest at the intersection of design, technology and health. A structured framework will help the students to identify a robust and focused set of theoretical, design-based objectives and fabrication explorations. The focus of the final project is to twofold: firstly, to synthesize professional, historical, theoretical, social, material, etc. knowledge; and secondly, to have immediate consequences for industry of an exploratory area of multidisciplinary design at the intersection of Architecture and Medical fields, presented as the development of prototypical propositions. The studio concludes with an exhibition of final projects in this MS program. Prerequisite Course(s): Prerequisites: ARCH 702C
