If you want something said, ask a man. If you want something done, ask a woman.

Women in History
This semester, we will explore architecture in support of women who have impacted the course of culture, society, and history. Our goal is to provide design solutions that reflect the legacy and impact of women’s ideas and actions across the world. An introductory project will allow students to explore the semester theme and introduce concepts to serve as building blocks for the rest of the semester. This early work will expand in scope and complexity to a larger project, allowing students to express ideas in greater depth and complexity.

Proposed Projects

Music Experience Pavilion
To begin the semester, students explored the music of a specific artist and created an architectural response to the sound, emotions, and thoughts they experienced. From this response, students designed a building for the public to immerse themselves in the sounds and compositions of the artist. The completed pavilion allows students to explore architecture as a translation of the characteristics and experiences of music through form, space, structure, material, and light. |
