Dull Professional Data From Ordinary Precedents

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Frederico Garcia Lammers

This paper begins with an easily refuted assumption. Most formal architectural education culminates in two paths: the individual thesis project or the practice-based internship. The latter path is wrought with the practicalities of professional anticipation, while the former is bound by disciplinary expectations to articulate novel theories that often result in some instrumental application or goal. This paper focuses on a graduate studio that addresses how to end architectural education by combining professional practice, precedent study, and speculative research. Since 2016, there have been twenty students, six professional practices, fifteen architects, and three faculty involved in the Forensics Studio at South Dakota State University.
