SAID 1002 Studio | Modular Unit Exercise:
Students were to investigate and design a series of modular units that explore repetition and the part to whole relationship created through the aggregation of multiple units of a system. Students were encouraged to select objects from a built environment or the natural environment that they were interested in abstracting as a form generator for the overall design of the modular unit.

Check out the amazing thesis projects from our masters of architecture students! These projects are still evolving and will only get better with time. Tune in later to see the progress!!!

Check out our Theoretical Masonry & Practical Production Final Presentation! Students created 20 units using a casting method with materials like fast setting concrete, hydrocal, and plaster. They also experimented with different mold types including silicone, 3d print, and cnc high density foam. Hope you enjoy their outstanding work!

Michael Mcinturf’s M.Arch students are starting the Halloweekend off with a bald! 🎃💀

Get ready to be inspired! Our third-year master's students showcased their incredible projects in the studio midterm. One thing's for sure - their passion shines through! Stay tuned for the final outcomes!

Take a look at the impressive projects from our Theoretical Masonry & Practical Production midterm! Students created 10 identical units using silicone or 3D-printed PLA plastic molds, showcasing the link between design and production.

From Line to Plane!
SAID 1001 Studio took on a creative challenge: turning simple lines into planes and building a 9” x 9” x 9” spatial composition!
The goal? To explore how planes define space — creating layers of foreground, middle ground, and background, and inviting views through and into the cube. Every angle reveals something new. Each plane connects, contains, and transforms space … proving that even a few lines can grow into something dynamic and full of depth.
