Graduate level study of the art and science of building design with emphasis given to integrative strategies for developing a comprehensive, multi- systemic, architectural project.

An exploration of professional and ethical responsibilities of the architect as they pertain to the procedural matters of practice and management.

A graduate-level summer internship with a professional architectural firm in which the student, along with a faculty advisor, will determine specific experiential and educational goals to be met. Laboratory: hours to be agreed upon with selected firm (apx. 10-15 hrs/wk for duration of internship).

Advanced architecture studio based upon themes and methodologies defined by individual faculty. Building upon disciplinary expertise gained in the core studio sequence, students explore diverse ways that architectural thinking, techniques, and formats yield project outcomes that span disciplines, techniques, scales, and media. Studio: 12 hours per week.

This course number is to allow for new and experimental classes to be introduced into the architectural curriculum on an ad hoc basis. The course, if adopted on a permanent basis, will be formally proposed for addition to the College curriculum and assigned a new, permanent number. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits under different subtitles.

Half-time to full-time work on Master's Project. May be repeated to a maximum of six semesters.

Research seminar in advance of the Commonwealth Studio Masters Project. Working independently, students identify a problem or challenge that has relevance locally and globally, and propose a design scope, research trajectory and line of action for an independent or collaborative design project.

Integrative Design of a complex, architectural project. Working in teams, students consider program, site conditions, structural systems, envelope design, energy, economy, and the environment to integrate building components and systems into a holistic design proposal. Students employ digital tools to analyze, simulate and document architectural proposals. Studio: 12 hours per week.
