Master of Architecture II Advanced Design Studio 2017-2018 Graduate Thesis Exhibition: Torwards a New [Hypo]thesis
This exhibition presents the work of the 2017-2018 Master of Architecture II Graduate Design Studio, focusing on Thesis projects but presenting a selection of work from the entire academic year of the graduate program.
Graduate thesis provides a unique opportunity to test new architectural paradigms that are unique to an individual's own interests in architecture, as rooted within a larger question in architecture today. Within the formulation of a key argument, each student was asked to invent [verbal and visual] evidence with hopes of radically augmenting novel architectural realities through the lens of a 'hypothesis' as an investigative design proposition. The unique culmination of this year's projects aims to test the conceptual underpinnings of key subject areas through a sequence of deeply varied themes that challenge the future of architectural discourse and the world we inhabit in the form of a critical question.
Gallery Hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 12 - 7 PM.
This exhibition is free and open to the public.
