Graduate Thesis is the culminating project of SCI-Arc’s curriculum that prepares M.Arch 1 and M.Arch 2 graduate students to make a statement and form a commitment that establishes their orientation to future architectural work. This year’s thesis has collectively explored the theme of “expanding the archives,” with every thesis project tackling questions and problems which are urgent to the discipline of architecture in 2021, making an attempt not only to synthesize the practice of design as it is now, but as it might become. This means taking account of the situatedness of every thesis project in relation to its many entanglements with the history and theory of the discipline, society, and environment, and projecting them forward into new possible futures.
