Advanced Studio V

This studio is structured as a mini-thesis project; each student designs their own site, program, position, and 11-year impact in terms of both carbon emissions and equality. They explore new modes of practicing architecture. In addition to reimagining the approach to the climate crisis, this studio reimagines the discipline. It challenges the hierarchies in the field. Building off the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the studio also addresses jobs and the way architectural work is structured and carried out. The studio reinvents materials, architecture, labor, and ways of life.

This course is part of the Public Works for a Green New Deal curricular initiative sponsored by the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture as a part of their project Power: Infrastructure in America.
