The program centers on studio sequences that proceed from fundamentals of architectural design, through technical aspects of building and comprehensive design, to investigations of complex urban conditions. The studios are reinforced with sequences in design communication, architectural culture and theory, structures, environmental technology, and professional practice. The program culminates in a Fifth‑Year Thesis that engages critical research and architectural design, providing a holistic understanding of design processes necessary to create well‑designed and meaningful architecture.
