Saving the Planet Through Thesis

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Karen Lange

Thesis exists in the in-between, the ambiguous space between real and unreal, proto-professional and professional, construction and vision. While thesis studio serves as a think tank for cultural observation, theoretical exploration, material exploitation, and architectural deviation, it is inherently about problem solving; affirmation through creation. Having mastered the architectural art of representation, the thesis student begins to think about things beyond their control and in so doing attempts to change the facts of construction or culture. Sometimes thesis is about saving the world.
