Master of Architecture with Concentration in Urban Practice (Three-Year Program) (STEM)

Program Overview

Students enrolled in the Master of Architecture program, as well as those in the Master of Architectural Studies program, pursue a concentration in one of five areas.

The Urban Practice Concentration examine architecture with a particular emphasis on contexts. Contexts are taken in its broadest sense: reciprocating, mutually beneficial situations that are simultaneously physical, social, historical and conceptual. Working within what educational theorist Étienne Wenger describes as "communities of practice", students interrelate architecture and urban design employing varied media while engaging in a rigorous intellectual discourse.
