4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: fall, springtypical days: MBostonTraditional
Focuses on how architectural practice occurs and must be understood within a larger social context, and seeks to make sense of this broader social contract from the perspective of professional design practice. Investigates normative and critical professional practices through selected readings and individual field research. Discusses the dynamic, diverse, and complex interests and objectives from the constellation of participants that bring a building to completion, especially in an urban environment. Develops project case studies that provide examples of excellent design results achieved through the application of expert professional practices.
