A sneak peek…Our Master of Architecture students

A sneak peek…Our Master of Architecture students conduct independent research into thematic issues deeply relevant to architecture. Across the cohort, they produce provocative work grappling with architecture’s agency in the emerging world. In fall of their final year, they develop their thesis proposal and document, which is the groundwork for a design project completed in spring, guided by a project advisory committee.
.
To take a sneak peek at the Master of Architecture students’ final spring design projects, we’ll share work over the next weeks from their fall proposals. These reflect the framework of their fields of interest, intellectual allies including precedents from scholarly and creative works, early experiments with design methodologies, a working stance on territory, as well as proposals for their spring design projects. Enjoy this glimpse into their insightful and provocative ideas, starting with work from students Maxwell Batchelor and Amir Elraheb.
.
We offer 2-year and 3.5-year Master of Architecture degrees: archdesign.utk.edu/schools/school-of-architecture/. Start your application now: archdesign.utk.edu/apply/apply-to-master-of-architecture/.

Maxwell Batchelor: Speculative Representation.
This thesis seeks not only to replicate the practice of the DRAWDEL through scripting but also to deconstruct, modify and expand the practice into a methodology of my own. This practice will include a number of phases, beginning with the [1]digital, translating to the [2]physical and then moving into the realm of [3]speculative representation. As with anything in this realm, legibility is not the goal but rather the qualities of the work.
.
Amir Elraheb: Earthen Evocations.
Earth has an identity and a memory. As designers who alter the earth, we can contort these features of the material, which play with the effects of the materiality of earth products. This earthen typology can coalesce with a multitude of other materials to produce architecture that retains a sense of place and tell a story from its memory.
