INFORMATION
Aligned with the first week of the fall term, Graduate Thesis at SCI-Arc cultivates an inevitable link between the theses of outgoing graduates and the curiosity of incoming students.
The weekend of reviews gives graduate thesis students an invaluable platform to articulate, propose, and defend their work to the SCI-Arc community and beyond.
97 students and 21 faculty advisors will converge with an array of invited guest critics from within and outside the discipline of architecture, to review, debate, and contemplate the provocations of this year's thesis projects.
“This year's graduate thesis projects at SCI-Arc are rooted in a profound understanding of the persistent social, technological, and climatic challenges we face globally,” notes Jackilin Hah Bloom, Graduate Thesis Coordinator. “Students have established new capacities to address these issues, not from a problem-solving approach, but one that focuses more on crafting novel processes and frameworks to enhance our understanding of the built environment. While each project represents a unique and personal exploration, collectively, this year's thesis projects will invigorate discussions around technology, building, and ecology.”
Special thanks to all the constituents at SCI-Arc who help to make all Graduate Thesis events happen.
