      Graduate Thesis Studio (Spring 2014) Students define their thesis projects through a series of design and written exercises. Students complete analytical studies and develop critical strategies, exploring concepts, barrier-free accessibility, site design, codes and program. AR501 Degree Project Instructor (Spring 2013-Fall 2013) This course places architecture within its cultural and social contexts. Students develop their own concept and approach through modes of learning, working and thinking associated with academic work and practice. This is an integrative project where students incorporate building systems, materiality and structure as part of the creative work of the studio. Show less
