Work by B.Arch student Ali Hayes
Within the Degree Project Studio students are expected to demonstrate professionally competent thinking, questioning and doing in a self-directed manner. Each student determines their own thesis question and statement in Thesis Prep in the fall and uses that as guidance for an architectural proposal in the spring that creatively integrates site, program, context, construction and other issues expected of an aspiring architect.
Despite the independent nature of the course the class is run in a collaborative studio environment where two key ideas are asked of each student as they relate to their endeavors. One, they must interrogate the relationship between form, construction and culture; and two, they must clearly identify how their inquiry sits within the tradition, discipline and profession of architecture.
