Architectural Design
By having a group of active practitioners as the core of the design faculty, architecture at MIT is centered on contemporary practice. While we are keenly aware of the necessity to learn, to borrow, to exchange with other disciplines, and we actively pursue interdisciplinary collaboration, we believe the basic intelligence of architecture is generated first of all from the bottom up and from within.
Design today is confronted by and has to address a set of contemporary conditions—namely climate change, globalization, technology and urbanization. As difficult as it might be, we are also extremely interested in how these issues will inform and inspire design, thus education.
Practice in turn is about giving the best of the knowledge produced at school to the society. With such conviction and idealism, we prepare our students for the future. An experiment with a new Master of Architecture curriculum is currently underway.
