Architecture 404 - Design VI

In this studio, students will explore critical, participatory, and process-focused strategies for community based design practices?to consider how the agents with whom we design, and the practices with which we engage them, shapes, alters, and informs our processes, our outcomes, and our larger professional practice. There will be a strong emphasis on linking the professional and theoretical underpinnings of community-focused, participatory architectural practice. Students will explore the history and context of socially engaged design practice, and participate in hands-on design projects with real impacts for a local community organization through both independent and collaborative work.

Open to BS-ARCH and BFA-ARCH students. Pre Req: ARCH-DES 403
