专业概况

在这里学什么？

The Master of Science in Architecture [MS in Architecture] is a post-professional degree focused on deep research through experimental design inquiry. This program is dedicated to cutting edge research and experimentation, and seeks to explore in a highly innovative fashion the cultural and technological landscapes of Houston. With a highly flexible curriculum, the degree allows for maximum individuation within both the graduate topic studios and an open selection of elective courses. The degree provides for an intensive yearlong (two semester) degree track with highly individuated curation of content allowing for a deep and focused inquiry. Culminating in an individual yearlong Master Degree Project, the post-professional students have an opportunity to examine diverse issues confronting contemporary practice through critical design inquiry.

As ever expanding global issues confront humanity, architecture must respond with dexterity. Architecture is perpetually challenged to do more with less and function with diminishing operational timelines from the moment of the event to the systemic response. It is time for critical specificity not vagueness. Nothing can be static. Nothing can be done in isolation. Everything must be inclusive. New technologies and expanding tools allow us to confront these issues with ever increasing sophistication and synthesis. The tools of design in all their diverse forms establish new processes and new opportunities. The results no longer resolve merely in form, but in tactics and methods.

Method must continue architecture's fundamental dialectic to bridge technology and art. Method must now be inclusive to equally engage the fundamental issues of light, space and form while rising to respond to the new essentialisms of performance, sustainability and social conscious. It is in this "process" that architecture can assert itself. It is in the "process" where architecture is perpetually reborn. It is in the "process" where one's voice can be found as a thinker, and more importantly as an active maker.

MS in Architecture Degree Plan

The post-professional Master of Science in Architecture degree is a design-based program centered on the studio, for students already possessing a professional degree in architecture, urban planning, urban design, landscape architecture, or related design fields. It integrates the complexities of design thinking through advanced and deep inquiry in a highly individuated curriculum. The two semester program consists of 36 academic credits in consecutive Fall and Spring sessions.
