In Advanced Studios, students from M Arch II, third-year M Arch, and fourth- and fifth- year B Arch explore design together and address research areas determined by the faculty. Emphasis is placed on design research and empowering students to identify and define design problems, establish evaluative criteria, analyze solutions, and predict the effectiveness of implementation. For all but the thesis studio, students select studios through a lottery on the first day of class.
