Senior Thesis

Catalog description

The architecture senior thesis provides students with the opportunity to undertake an independent critical and speculative exploration of a chosen theme. The theme is required to connect architecture with at least one other discipline or subject in the College of Arts and Science. In addition, the questions formulated should establish a concrete link to debates that can be identified as architectural, whether belonging to the realm of individual buildings, urbanism, or product design. This means, that departing from a humanistic question, students should seek to establish clear connections to architectural discourse in the process of conducting their thesis. The thesis project initiates a set of issues and methods that students may continue to develop as they embark on their future professional and intellectual careers. Although the thesis is conceived independently, it is conducted under the supervision of faculty advisors and the thesis coordinator.
