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.

Several complex design projects selected and explored from commercial, institutional, hospitality and retail perspectives. Interdisciplinary and/or large-scale team projects are undertaken. Emphasis placed on individual design approach illustrating student's strengths. Satisfies the Integrative Experience requirement for BS-Arch majors.
