Uraian Tempat

This school is located in Washington, D.C., is dedicated to the professional education of architects and planners and others who will design, build and conserve the built environment. Utilizing the nation's capital and other cities as design laboratories, the graduate program provides an enriching educational climate in which students investigate the realms of design, theory and building within the context of the world in which we live. Students are exposed to a variety of architectural experiences through a choice of design studio options that include cultural studies/sacred space, digital architecture, digital fabrication, real estate development and urban design/conservation. Central to the graduate program is the design studio, where students pursue their architectural enquiries individually or in teams. Design studios are directed by faculty members who have extensive experience in both practice and teaching. Visiting critics whose professional experience is relevant to the studio projects are brought into the school to provide richness and diversity to the students’ design education. The studio experience culminates in a design thesis. Supporting the studio experience are advanced courses in architecture, planning and related fields. Lectures, seminars and exhibitions are devised to introduce the student to a multitude of considerations faced by the practicing architect to reveal differing philosophies and attitudes toward architectural design. As in the studios, lecturers are invited from among the many outstanding professionals practicing in the Washington area to provide informal talks on their current work, teach or add their particular insights to the support courses.
