Credit Hours: (6)
In this studio, students delve deeply into individually-defined investigations of specific themes of contemporary relevance. Students take advantage of the proximity of the program to the professional community of Charlotte in order to develop relationships that have both short term (i.e., project-related) and long term (i.e., career-related) benefits. Rooted in, but also independent of, the projects from ARCH 4103 , design-as-research projects culminate in a Project Document that distills the student’s research.
Prerequisite(s): ARCH 4103 .
