Cultural Architecture Studio
Studio Prompt
Students are immesersed in the vibrant world of Indigenous architecture - discovering how various traditions and stories were woven into unique buildings. Then they harness that research to inform the design of mind-blowing architectural structures set 300 years in the future!
Delightful Interventions
Studio Prompt
Students investigate the unique qualities in their surroundings and identify the elements that will ultimately serve as inspiration for bringing new - and delightful context to their site. By the studio's completion, students will have created non-destructive, temporary, and transformative installations on their campus.
