Customized Advanced Research Curriculum
The Advanced Research Curriculum series allows students to tailor their research to their specific interests. Through this program, they will gain the skills necessary to identify areas of knowledge deficiency, formulate relevant research questions, and develop appropriate methodologies. With guidance from academic and industry experts, students will also have the chance to connect with a wider community of professional and academic specialists.
Participants will have ample opportunities to disseminate their findings and present their work at various proprietary and public venues, as well as to leaders in the Consortium of firms.
Who we are
The relationship between architecture professionals and academia has the potential to be a mutually beneficial and dynamic exchange that leads to significant advancement in the field.
This consortium aims to establish a robust feedback loop in which professionals identify issues encountered in practice, while academic researchers communicate relevant findings back to practitioners.
