This fourth studio in the Undergraduate Architecture studio sequence teaches students how to leverage design techniques at an architectural scale to influence social and economic life at an urban scale. Students critique and reimagine the formal and spatial conditions of cities and buildings in relationship to the protocols of social structures, market forces, and infrastructures that govern them. Students are challenged to work simultaneously at the scale of a building with residential program, and at the scale of the urban context surrounding it, synthesizing an understanding of formal, historical, socio-cultural, and economic factors into an architectural proposal and cohesive narrative.
