This evening event will include studio visits\, a welcome by De an Marta Gutman\, a program overview by Acting Director Frank Melendez\, a panel discussion with faculty and recent graduates\, Q&\;A\, and an op portunity for feedback on your portfolio materials.\n\nConfirmed Speakers: \n\n Professor Pedro Cruz Cruz '22\n Professor Sam Richman '21\n Anthon y Nieto '23\n Albany Ramirez Espinoza '23\n Hannah Borgeson\, Director o f Graduate Affairs\n\nThe M Arch I program invests in the project as the v ehicle of thought\, learning\, and change. First is a foundation year of s kill-building\, followed by two vertically integrated\, comprehensive\, ye ar-long studies\, each working closely with two or three faculty members. Other consultants collaborate and tutor at different times throughout the year.\n\nMany students come into the program driven by questions they are seeking to address. Our project-focused format provides a place -- a scaff old -- to engage these questions within the context of an architectural st udio and the discipline of a project. The time we give to these projects p romotes a dialogue among professors and classmates\, where the ambition is for all of us to learn to ask better questions.\n\nThe project covers the conventional areas of architecture and emerging architectural research to pics including -- design\, history\, theory\, critical thinking\, structur es\, technology\, material assembly\, building science -- and also allows for the professors’ interests and the students’ interest to commingle.   Projects are substantial and cross-disciplinary because of the time we allocate to them -- a rehearsal for the practice of architecture that so m any of our students engage in upon graduation. New York City serves as our open library\, our lab\, our inspiration\, our call to change\, our call to keep up with change. The city invites us to participate\, perhaps to le ad\, but mostly to contribute in the discussion of what our world is and h ow better we might live in it.\n\nSpitzer School grad programs share a tea ching\, research\, and design environment known as the unit system. Within year-long\, team-taught\, vertically integrated design studios\, upper-le vel students and professors work together to define questions and propose design solutions. Just like in the professions\, students synthesize diver se skills and subject areas into their projects. Check out this year’s d esign studio topics as well as student projects and work from previous yea rs.\n\n \;\nAdmissions\nAll undergraduate backgrounds welcome in the M Arch I program\; its prerequisites are one semester of both college-level precalculus and physics. Our next deadline is in January 2023 to begin st udies in Fall 2023. Please see instructions on our Graduate Application In structions page.\n\n \;\nAccreditation\nThe Master of Architecture I program is accredited. See the NAAB section of this site for more inform ation and links regarding accreditation.\n\n \;\nSTEM Designation\nBot h the M Arch I and MS Arch programs are listed within the U.S. government ’s official STEM fields list and are therefore eligible for the STEM OPT extension for F-1 students. See the STEM OPT Hub for more information.
