Senior Thesis in Architectural Studies and Community Design I

This studio course constitutes the first part of a two-term sequence. The objective of this studio is to research, plan, and begin the architectural design for a project with a specific local client, site, and program. Historically, we have worked with Habitat for Humanity of Addison County. The outcome must achieve outstanding design while meeting all budget, schedule, permitting, sustainability, and technical requirements. As a team, students will work primarily in the studio space and rely heavily on internal and external review of their work. The course provides the opportunity to work closely with a local client. Students should expect a substantial amount of work outside of class time. (HARC 0330). 3 hrs. lect./3 hrs. Instructor Approval.
