Thesis combines research and design under faculty-directed topics and foci. Individual thesis sections will offer opportunities ranging from self-directed student work to collective design and research on faculty-determined projects. Arch 662 is a studio course that constitutes the continuation and realization of the research and exploration initiated in Arch 660. The product of the thesis studio is a presentation and documentation of the thesis at the end of the winter term. Depending on the goals of the thesis section, Arch 662 may involve experience working closely with a client or organizatio

Thesis is structured around a thesis seminar in the fall semester and a thesis studio in the winter. Within these two semesters, students develop an argument utilizing diverse mediums of representation and rhetoric. While studio sections offer a broad theme of research, the unique voice of student’s interests is the highlight of Thesis at Taubman, celebrating the collective voice that emerges out of each one of the thesis projects.

Working across different media and forms of representation, Thesis offers an open-ended conclusion for the M.Arch program, one that registers the disciplinary interests of each generation.
