M. Arch. Thesis Presentations
Fall 2008 Master of Architecture thesis reviews will be held at the School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation on Monday, November 17.
These diverse thesis projects culminate not only a year or more of research and analysis, creative thought and labor-intensive design work, but also many years of challenging academic study. The thesis is neither a final exam nor just another studio project. Rather, it is a unique opportunity—perhaps a once-in-a-career opportunity—for aspiring architects to explore ideas, sites and programs of their own choosing, and to undertake that exploration substantially on their own terms.
Prospective students, current students, and alumni are encouraged to visit the School anytime to see one or more reviews. Contact the Thesis Coordinator with questions.
