Architecture
Architecture is a cultural act. Both the first-professional
and post-professional programs seek to formulate a
contemporary approach to architecture that is “ecological”
in the sense that it provides collective exchanges that
are both trans-disciplinary and trans-categorical. This
ecological approach encourages feedback, theoretical studies,
and exposure to myriad other categories and disciplines
that are newly emerging in contemporary culture. It
also helps students develop relationships with industry,
manufacturing, and political agencies. This approach seeks
to intensify hetero geneous interests and agencies. In
addition, the programs see architectural innovations in both
theory and practice of architecture and the interconnected
phenomena out of which the discipline emerges.
