Offers students an opportunity to create a culminating project that builds upon the studio course project and aligns with their chosen concentration and professional aspirations. Students work individually or as part of a small group to outline a proposal to guide the planning and design of the project that will serve as the cornerstone of their portfolio. Weekly work results in a formal prototype, written report, and final presentation that discusses and reflects on the design process at the crossroads of methodological, systematic iteration and creative exploration.
