The Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design program starts in the summer semester. Considered the core of the program, the summer semester consists of the Advanced Design Studio—offering up to eleven design studios each year—and two required courses that establish the critical and historical coordinates for the program: Transscalarities, that explores how the capacity for architecture to impact societies and ecosystems result in the way design operates ecologically across scales of space and time; and Arguments, which explores contemporary theory in a unique combination of coordinated seminar sessions taught by current Architecture PHDs and guest lectures. All invited speakers are collectively engaging with transdisciplinary ways of addressing climate via situated, material, and social-economic and political means in the making of societies.
In the fall and spring semesters, Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design students are joined with the third-year Master of Architecture students for the Advanced Studios. Like the Master of Architecture curriculum, Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design students must take a minimum of four elective courses in the History and Theory, Visual Studies, and Technology distributions.

The Arguments series brings together a diverse group of speakers whose work addresses today’s most pressing challenges—environmental, political, and social and beyond, by interrogating the way architectural devices and architectural practices gain collective relevance and by participating in environmental, technological and representational alliances, solidarities, defiances, disputes and controversies. Organized around a series of invitations to relevant scholars, professionals, artists, journalists or activists—half from the field of architecture, half from non-architectural fields—this course has as its main goal an interrogation of the way architecture is part of the realities that shape the evolution of the world’s societies and ecosystems.
Summer 2023 Arguments speakers included architect Rachaporn Choochuey of all(zone) architects; artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan; architect Junya Ishigami; scholar Shannon Mattern; architects Cruz García and Nathalie Frankowski of WAI Think Tank; environmental scholars Troy Vettese and Drew Pendergrass; artist Chip Lord of Ant Farm; and architects Fuminori Nousaku and Mio Tsuneyama.
