You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.
-Jane Goodall
The goal of this semester is to explore the world of architecture through the concept of ecology. Coursework this semester will focus on the relationship between architecture and the environment. Projects and exercises will promote and teach the creation of design that is meaningful for those who use it and responsive to the place where it exists. Through these projects, we will have the opportunity to understand connections between how we design and the effects it has on the world around us.
Across three of our studios, students will navigate the Anthropocene, exploring a variety of scenarios and problems to develop architecture operating across the divide, bringing people together with the world around them in new and innovative ways.
