Offered by: Architecture     Degree: Master of Architecture

Program Requirements

Drawing on methods in philosophy, media studies, cultural landscapes, vernacular architecture studies, and material culture, students in this option study the ways in which we conceptualize and realize the built world. How are architectural practices mediated by their broader contexts?

This option capitalizes on the expertise of the architect-researcher to move freely between art and science and between content-based and empirical research, and to facilitate robust interdisciplinary teams of engineers, technologists, media artists, and social scientists to understand, explain, and create today’s built environments.
