Architectural Design Studio III explores architecture and urbanism in the context of urban, suburban, or community-scale design. It situates architecture in a complex, often contested public realm with the potential to address issues of social, environmental, and spatial justice. Projects can be situated in any place where the scale and learning objectives below may be applied.

You’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with peers with different levels of experience and backgrounds to articulate a clear response to infrastructural, environmental, and ecological
systems present in the studio assignments, using appropriate graphic communication techniques. You’ll learn to design buildings and the public spaces they extend to that embody diverse community needs and desires, as well as gain an understanding of the regulatory instruments and broader implications of architectural design.
