One of the important aspects that allows our distance pedagogy to work is the Intensives, which are on-site, face to face engagements between teachers and students. They occur the third week of each semester. It is a very special time for our students to engage in studio 24/7 with dedicated space, listen to guest lectures, engage in group pin-ups, participate in seminar and lecture courses, enjoy field trips and meet local professionals through reviews and events.

MAKING

Since so much of the work that we do in the Distance M.Arch program relies on digital technology, we make it a point to engage in hand drawings, model-making and fabrication as part of the underlying foundation for the Intensive in the Thesis curriculum.

CULTURE

The Intensive also allows us to create a firm foundation for our studio culture, even when we are separated by great distances.
