Department of Architecture

The Department of Architecture conceives of architecture as a discipline as well as a profession. Five semi-autonomous, graduate degree–granting "discipline groups" provide an architectural education that is as complex as the field itself. Each discipline group is supported by the other four, and all five contribute to a mutual enterprise. Students learn ways of working that draw upon the whole range of resources that architecture affords in finding and defining the expansive problems of building, as well as in proposing effective solutions. The groups are Architectural Design; Building Technology; Computation; History, Theory and Criticism of Architecture and Art (HTC); and Visual Arts Program (VAP).

In the several disciplines of the department, there is a substantial body of research activity. Moreover, the department's setting within MIT permits greater depth in such technical areas as computation, new modes of design and production, materials, structure, and energy as well as in the arts and humanities. The department builds on, and contributes to, such valuable institutional commitments.

The department offers six degree programs: the Bachelor of Science in Art and Design, Master of Architecture, Master of Science in Architecture Studies, Master of Science in Building Technology, Master of Science in Visual Studies, and the Doctor of Philosophy.

In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit US professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees—the Bachelor of Architecture, Master of Architecture, and Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a six-year, three-year, or two-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.

Master's degree programs may consist of a preprofessional undergraduate degree and a professional graduate degree, which, when earned sequentially, constitute an accredited professional education. However, the preprofessional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.

The Department of Architecture offers the MArch degree in programs ranging from two to three and one-half years. These professional degrees are structured to educate those who aspire to registration and licensure as architects.

The undergraduate Bachelor of Science in Art and Design is a preprofessional degree program. It is useful for those wishing a foundation in the field of architecture as preparation for either continued education in a professional degree program or for employment options in architecturally related fields.

Architectural Design is taught from a broad range of perspectives linking several common concerns: site and context, use and form, building methods and materials, and the role of the architect. Context is considered in terms of existing and historical physical form (natural and constructed) and sociological patterns of use. The architect is seen less as the sole creator of a completed building than as a participant with others in the shaping of our physical environment.

Diverse architectural design studios are offered. After establishing a basis in a core curriculum, the focus shifts to choices among design projects of ascending complexity and broader agendas. Introductory studios provide a basic architectural design background and help undergraduates decide whether they want to continue in architecture. Entering graduate students have a basic studio crafted for their needs. The intermediate studios provide a range of experiences of form-making in which individual faculty present their particular design agendas and methodologies. The advanced studios give graduate students the opportunity to sharpen their skills and to develop their own attitudes of form-making. In their theses, students carry through a project independently, from strategy and concept to a comprehensive building/city design, under the guidance of an advising committee.

Computer resources for educational purposes are distributed in the laboratories and studios of the department and overseen by the staff of the School of Architecture and Planning's computer resources office. Students are required to learn the fundamentals of computer-aided visualization. Other computation subjects or studio work permit further experimentation with modeling techniques, graphic representations, design methods, technical analysis, prototyping, and assistance with the design process. Students may also participate in research work in these areas.

The work of the Architectural Design faculty extends beyond the studio. Workshops, lectures, seminars, and research engage the built environment, the forces that mold it, and the design process itself. The work of the faculty covers such areas as urbanism, climate change and sustainable design, computation and design, materials and fabrication, theoretical design research, and housing and settlements in the global context. Central to these topics is the role of the user as an active force in the development of environments and the role of the designer as an agent in the process of human habitation.

This area of study offers a concentration to undergraduates in Course 4 as well as Master of Architecture and Master of Science in Architecture Studies degrees.

Building Technology includes teaching and applications of the fundamentals of technology as well as research in technology for the next generation of buildings. Topics include energy-efficient technologies, building structures, materials, industrialized building systems, appropriate technology for developing countries, sustainable design, new indoor air quality, daylighting and energy efficiencies technologies, and development of computational methods for research and design through visualization of building performance in its many aspects. Subjects include fundamentals of technology, applications to buildings, laboratories, and independent research projects. For example, students may study problems of energy resources and technologies and use this knowledge to design physical environments or buildings for the next decade that embody current research concepts. Research facilities include the Building Technology Laboratory, a full-scale indoor environmental chamber, a daylighting laboratory, and computer work stations. Research facilities of other departments such as Mechanical and Civil and Environmental Engineering are also used in joint research projects.

This area of study offers a concentration to undergraduates in Course 4 as well as a Master of Science in Building Technology (SMBT) and a doctoral degree with emphasis on building technology.

The Computation group teaches diverse subjects dealing with theory, history, methods, and applications of computation and digital technology. The aim is to cover the many facets of a rapidly changing and growing area with in-depth, agenda-setting research and teaching. Topics taught cover the description, generation, and construction of architectural and urban form and other designed artifacts using computational means, including computer visualization and modeling; generative theories, strategies, and software for design synthesis and analysis; and digital fabrication and construction processes and technologies. Students are encouraged to acquire both the technical skills and the theoretical and conceptual foundations to rethink and challenge the limits of current design processes and practices, and to consider the social and cultural implications of their positions.

This area of study offers a concentration to undergraduates in Course 4 as well as a concentration in the Master of Science in Architecture Studies (SMArchS) program, and a doctoral program. SMArchS and PhD students are encouraged to take subjects in other discipline areas as a means to explore and develop their interests.

The History, Theory, and Criticism of Architecture and Art group teaches subjects dealing with the history of art and architecture. Offerings range in content and method. Some study questions internal to the discipline of architecture, while others seek contexts in social, political, and intellectual history. Some are motivated by questions derived from the problems of contemporary practice. Others take their organization from a body of historical material investigated in ways that develop skills of analysis applicable to a wide range of topics. The group teaches subjects from the Renaissance forward in time, focusing on materials that are both abstract and concrete, with scales that range from the architectural drawing to the urban environment. There is a special emphasis on topics of modern art and architecture.

HTC offers a concentration to undergraduates in Course 4 and a HASS concentration and minor in the history of architecture to all MIT undergraduates. There is a doctoral program with emphasis on the history, theory, and criticism of art and architecture, and students in the Master of Science in Architecture Studies program may choose to concentrate in HTC.

The Visual Arts Program offers a diverse range of subjects in studio practice and operates as a critical production and education-based laboratory within the context of an advanced technological community. Students explore the role of art in society and consider artistic practice as knowledge production. Studio investigations and artistic research are realized through performance, sound and video, photography, and interrogative design as well as through experimental media and new genres. The program also emphasizes art that engages public spheres, the production of space, and networked cultures, and questions the relationship of art to the environment, gender, and social stratification. Extracurricular activities include a cross-disciplinary lecture series, field trips, workshops, studio visits, and public presentations.

This area of study offers a concentration to undergraduates in Course 4 and a HASS concentration in the visual arts to all undergraduates. It also offers a graduate major leading to a Master of Science in Visual Studies. Undergraduate and graduate subjects are also offered to students from other disciplines who would like to experience contemporary arts practice.

Undergraduate Study

The Department of Architecture offers two undergraduate courses of study. They provide a broad undergraduate education for students who have clear professional goals and for those who desire a solid foundation for a number of possible careers. Course 4 leads to the Bachelor of Science in Art and Design, and Course 4-B leads to the Bachelor of Science.

Bachelor of Science in Art and Design/Course 4
[see degree chart]

Course 4 offers a flexible program for students in five possible discipline streams: visual arts; architectural design; building technology; computation; and history, theory, and criticism of architecture and art. Within a clear framework, students develop individual courses of study best suited to their needs and interests.

The requirements for the SB in Art and Design (BSAD) curriculum begin with an introductory subject, 4.111 Experiencing Architecture Studio, designed to be taken by freshmen and sophomores. The remaining core subjects include beginning work in the arts, computation, architectural design, building technology, and the history of architecture and art.

The department has a handout (also available on its website) that gives the subject requirements for each of its five discipline streams. Each area of concentration provides a variety of subjects from which to choose as well as an opportunity to get more deeply involved in a particular subfield. Students choose their discipline stream at the end of their sophomore year.

The majority of BSAD candidates choose the architectural design discipline stream, which includes sequential studios. The approach fosters investigation and discussion in the development of sensitivity to the built environment. These sensibilities are linked to values and responsibilities to the community at large. The design studio is a place not only where technical and analytical skills are developed, but a place of synthesis and invention using the elements of architectural form: material, structure, construction, light, sound, memory, and place. This is the process that characterizes the architectural education and what the studio sequence explores.

Students who plan to continue their studies for the graduate degree in architecture must apply for admission to the Master of Architecture (MArch) program. Students who have fulfilled the requirements for the Architectural Design discipline stream of the Bachelor of Science in Art and Design may be able to satisfy the requirements for the MArch in two and one-half years rather than three and one-half if they include a sufficient number of professional subjects in their undergraduate program. This requires careful use of a student's unrestricted electives.

Students who intend to continue with graduate studies in the visual arts, building technology, and history, theory, and criticism of architecture and art should consult with an appropriate faculty member to design a program of study that establishes the basis for graduate study.

The department offers a foreign exchange study program with Delft University of Technology and Hong Kong University for architecture design seniors in the fall term. A required senior thesis is taken in the final year in all of the discipline streams except for architecture design, for which it is optional.

Bachelor of Science/ Course 4-B

Course 4-B is offered for students who find that their basic intellectual commitments are to subjects within the Department of Architecture but whose educational objectives cut across departmental boundaries. These students may, with the approval of the department, plan a course of study that meets their individual needs and interests while including the fundamental areas within the department. For example, students might create a coherent program combining subjects in architecture with subjects in urban studies and planning, comparative media studies, systems analysis, acoustics, etc.

As early as possible, students should discuss their interests and intended programs with their advisor and departmental faculty members. A student who wishes to follow Course 4-B must initially register as a Course 4 major and take the expected sophomore subjects. By the end of the sophomore year, the student is expected to submit to the department a proposal that includes a statement of educational goals, a list of subjects to be taken to fulfill these goals (84 units), and a timetable of when the subjects will be taken. When the proposal is approved by the Department of Architecture Undergraduate Curriculum Committee, the student may officially switch to the 4-B major.

The Course 4-B curriculum is similar to Course 4 in that the six core subjects that are to be taken primarily in the freshman and sophomore years are 4.111, 4.112, 4.302, 4.401, 4.500, and 4.605. During the junior and senior years, the approved interdisciplinary course of study is pursued. A senior thesis, preceded by 4.THT Thesis Research Design Seminar, is required.

Graduate Study

The Department of Architecture offers five graduate degree programs—the Master of Architecture, Master of Science in Architecture Studies, Master of Science in Building Technology, Master of Science in Visual Studies, and the Doctor of Philosophy.

The Master of Architecture is awarded to students who complete a program, accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board, that is an essential step toward licensure for architectural practice.

The Master of Science in Architecture Studies program stresses research and inquiry in the built environment; the degree is meant both for students who already have their first professional architecture degree and those whose previous education orients them toward nonprofessional graduate study in architecture.

The Master of Science in Building Technology program is run jointly by the departments of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. It is meant for students who intend to make a career in this field.

The Master of Science in Visual Studies focuses on the development of critical and visionary positions of artistic practice in the context of an advanced technological and scientific community. Central to the curriculum is the potential for creating links with programs in architecture, urbanism, technology, and media studies. Students are challenged to expand their artistic practice by questioning the historical, cultural, social and ethical implications of their work. Discussion in contemporary theory and criticism complements studio production.

The PhD program is an advanced degree program initiated in the area of History, Theory, and Criticism, and has been expanded to the areas of Building Technology, and Design and Computation.

Master of Architecture

The Master of Architecture is awarded upon the satisfactory completion of an approved program of at least 164 units, of which 96 units must be in H-level subjects, and an acceptable thesis. Those who have not yet studied in a department of architecture require three and one-half academic years of residence to fulfill the requirements for the MArch degree.

Advanced standing is possible for students who have taken architectural design at an accredited school of architecture. Students who have majored in architectural design at a "4 plus 2" architecture school, including MIT, may have the time to complete the program reduced to two and one-half years depending on their academic experience and accomplishments.

The professional MArch program is seen as being diverse and open-ended with many views of appropriate research and practice of architecture available, yet with a general set of shared concerns. These include a commitment to design, an interest in materials and technology, a concern for social and urban issues, an interest in inquiry and criticism, a view of the environment as a living and developing phenomenon, an interest in the relation between the built environment and institutions, a regard for the material processes of building, a perspective on new technologies and their impact on practice, and a concern for the spatial and temporal contexts of buildings. Given the varied perspectives from which the curriculum is conceived, an important aspect of the students' development is to be able to establish links between different arenas of focus and its many disciplines.

Architectural design studios are the center of the MArch degree program. Students must recognize that there are many possible professional roles, and therefore must assume much of the responsibility for structuring their own educational programs. While the professional curriculum specifies that a student study a range of subjects in several interrelated fields, students in the MArch program have some choice within each of the study areas offered in the department, and are required to develop a concentration in a self-determined area.

Master of Science in Architecture Studies

This program is designed to provide a climate for research and inquiry that stresses the investigative component of understanding the built environment. It is open to students with professional degrees in architecture and, more rarely, to other university graduates. The SMArchS degree is awarded upon satisfactory completion of an approved program of study of 96 units, 42 of which will be H-level subjects, and the completion of an acceptable thesis. The degree requires two full academic years of residency.

The program has a strong interest in the methods of inquiry, development and testing of knowledge, and the building and application of theory as it pertains to the built environment. It allows students to specialize in areas in which they wish to obtain particular abilities. There are several areas of study and interdisciplinary work is encouraged.

In Architecture and Urbanism, design is developed and evaluated as a means to demonstrate the hypothesis that the urban space can be effectively constructed, and made legible and civic, through architecture. Areas of faculty interest include theory of urban form and design, urban ecology, and landscape urbanism.

The Aga Khan Program for Islamic Architecture supports a small number of students interested in pursuing research on architecture and urbanism in the Islamic world. Faculty interests include Islamic architectural and urban history and historiography, strategies for preservation, and the critique of contemporary design in Islamic countries.

The mission of Design and Computation is to promote a rethinking of technique in relation to architectural design and its production, as well as to challenge conventional distinctions between physical and virtual environments. Research focuses on new means for describing, representing, and generating architectural design; for modeling physical processes; and for fabrication.

Building Technology focuses on the intersection of design and technical issues for buildings that positively contribute to a more humane and environmentally responsible built world. Research within the group addresses innovative materials and assemblies, low-energy strategies, and structures.

A few students can enter the area of History, Theory, and Criticism where they work alongside doctoral students in the study of Western (19th and 20th centuries) architecture and methodological issues that inform or link historical and practical work.

In all these areas, related subjects are available in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, in other departments at MIT, and at Harvard.

About 70 percent of the students in the SMArchS program come from outside the United States; this encourages the exchange of ideas across cultures. Students often use a site in their home countries as a base for their theses.

Simultaneous Master's Degrees in Architecture and City Planning

Students who have been admitted to either the Department of Urban Studies and Planning or the Department of Architecture can propose a program of joint work in the two fields that will lead to the simultaneous awarding of two degrees. Degree combinations may be MArch/MCP or SMArchS/MCP. A student must apply by January 3 before beginning the last full year of graduate study for the first degree: SMArchS and MCP students must apply during the spring admissions process. SMArchS students must apply during their first term at MIT. MArch students must apply before or during their second year. Students are first approved by the Dual Degree Committee and then considered during the spring admissions process. All candidates for simultaneous degrees must meet the requirements of both degrees, but may submit a joint thesis.

Urban Design Certificate

Students in the MCP, MArch, or SMArchS programs who complete a specific curriculum in urban design are awarded a Certificate in Urban Design. The curriculum includes subjects in both Architecture and Planning. For further information, contact Charlotte Liu, Room 10-485, 617-253-5115.

Master of Science in Building Technology

This program provides a focus for graduate students interested in the development and application of advanced technology for buildings. Students in this program take relevant subjects in basic engineering disciplines along with subjects which apply these topics to buildings. The program is open to qualified students with a degree in engineering or in architecture with a substantial background in technology.

The program concentrates on the development of the next generation of technology for buildings as well as the innovative application of state-of-the-art concepts to building systems. Research programs, in many cases jointly carried out with faculty and students in the School of Engineering, include energy efficiency, sustainable building design, controls, natural ventilation and indoor air quality, innovative materials and structures, and computational simulation of building behavior.

The SMBT degree is generally completed in two years, requires 66 units of coursework (42 of which must be H-level graduate credit), and the completion of an acceptable thesis.

Master of Science in Visual Studies

The Visual Arts Program aims to develop artists and cultural producers with diverse backgrounds and experience interested in innovative, artistic practice and research at the intersection of art, culture, science, and technology. It offers a wealth of transdisciplinary research opportunities. Central to the SMVisS curriculum is the potential for links with programs in architecture, urbanism, technology, and media studies. It offers an academic research setting and studio environment for innovative, experimental, and critical artistic production. Areas of investigation include media art, networked cultures, expanded video and photography as well as performance, interrogative design, and art in the public sphere. Students are challenged to explore the role of art in society and to expand their practice through an informed and articulate focus on the cultural, social, and ethical implications of individual and collective projects. Regular SMVisS tutorials foster in-depth examination of student work in progress.

The SMVisS degree is completed in two years, requires 156 units of coursework (123 of which must be H-level graduate credit), and the completion of an acceptable thesis.

Doctor of Philosophy

The PhD in Architecture may be pursued in one of the following areas: History and Theory of Architecture/History and Theory of Art, Building Technology, or Design and Computation.

The PhD program in the area of History, Theory, and Criticism of Architecture and Art emphasizes the study of Western (19th and 20th centuries) and Islamic art, architecture and urbanism, and methodological issues that inform or link historical and practical work.

The doctoral program in Building Technology is interdepartmental, with important components in the Departments of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Mechanical Engineering. Research programs include energy efficiency, sustainable building design, controls, natural ventilation and indoor air quality, daylighting, masonry structures, innovative materials and structures, and computational simulation of building behavior.

The PhD program in Design and Computation is broadly conceived around computational ideas and digital technologies as they pertain to the understanding, description, generation, and construction of architectural form. Research topics include the mathematical foundations of shape and shape representation; generative tools for design synthesis; advanced modeling and visualization techniques; rapid prototyping and CAD/CAM technologies for physical fabrication; and the analysis of the design process and its enhancement through supporting technologies and work spaces. The mission of the program is to enrich design from a computational perspective, with clear implications for teaching and practice.

Admission and degree requirements vary somewhat in the specific areas listed above, and may be obtained from the Department of Architecture website or in correspondence with the separate areas. The residency requirement for the PhD is a minimum of two full academic years. Completion of all of the requirements for the PhD—including the dissertation—is usually accomplished in five years.

Each student admitted to work for the PhD should consult closely with one principal professor in his or her area to develop a general plan of study. In all three areas, progress toward the PhD follows a sequence of required subject work, qualifying papers, general examinations, and dissertation research, writing, and defense. Students are encouraged to take subjects appropriate to their study plans in other departments at MIT, and at Harvard.
