GRFA 781 - Thesis Writing Project I
The Thesis Writing Project is a corequisite of Thesis Preparation I and II, and takes place during the fall and spring off-campus semesters. Research for the Thesis Writing Project is intended to inform the student’s second-year Independent Studio activity, which focuses on identifying and developing potential directions for the thesis exhibition and written thesis. The student is expected to consider issues raised during the previous summer’s seminar that are particularly relevant to the more focused direction of their studio work. The student independently formulates a proposal and bibliography for a formal paper to be based upon the more developed direction of their work. The range of issues considered for further investigation may include aesthetic, conceptual, technical, or visual culture issues as well as the relationship of the major work to other disciplines. Formerly FA 781

IDES 401 - Studio 5: Projects Studio
These studio courses focus on decisive and responsible positions in formulating new design directions. Building upon past learning, projects will sharpen fundamental skills of sketching (2D & 3D), design drawing, computer modeling, prototyping and conceptual diagramming. Students are encouraged through critical discourse and research on historical and contemporary material of cultural shifts to formulate their own ideology. Project proposals will forward questions such as social context, ergonomics, and ecological consequences. Students are expected to identify local stakeholders (industry, users, designers, etc.) and ask them to be topic advisors as appropriate. First semester projects are dedicated to three fast-paced, highly theoretical, predefined topics. The next semester is devoted to further development of one of these projects. This final semester-long project will work toward project closure and pragmatic articulation, ready to be shown both inside and outside an academic context. Formerly ID 400A
