The Dirty South - New Orleans - Masters Studio with Jennifer Bonner
By Stefann Plishka: The second installation of The Dirty South studio with Jennifer Bonner at Georgia Tech takes on New Orleans. Using the legacy of Dirty South hip hop as inspiration within the framework of a guidebook of B-side tours, students investigated unusual patterns and idiosyncrasies in the city. Projects spanned topics from misuse of Charles Moore's Piazza d'Italia to reappropriation of the city's most controversial monuments to installation of an illegal auction house within the convention center.

"Suspects" in the Studio - Increasing Diversity in Design Education
By Derek Ham: The recent cases involving Mike Brown in Ferguson and Garner in New York all continue to illuminate how many people view Blacks (and especially Black men) in America. Architecture schools cannot avoid this discussion as many schools still have staggering low numbers of Black and other underrepresented minority students in their programs. I want to help us talk about these issues as we continue to try making our learning environments (the design studio) welcoming for people of all walks of life.

The Crisis of Aesthetic - Behind the Scenes: The Making of my Master's Thesis
By Joseph Raffin: I am a few months into the beginning of my thesis year at the University of Detroit Mercy. The thesis is an investigation in how dominant culture and technology shape the new paradigm. The blog is a good way of documenting and organizing my thoughts throughout the process as well as sharing my ideas with the Archinect community. It would also be a cool look into the mind of a student working though a thesis. I intend to post images I've been working on and thoughts about them.

Connect with ideas
By JNBouchard: Ideas worth spreading. Today more than ever, architects have the potential to publish their work, share their ideas with a larger audience than their own environment. Getting feedbacks, giving out ideas, get new ones, work them out in a new pattern, under a new angle... and share it agian. The creation of an informal collective, created by an online network. The goal is, by mutual exchange of information, progression and the production of better ideas.: Ideas worth spreading.

No Master - A peer driven "Master's Degree" study program.
By Christine Pierron: No Master is a concept for a peer driven study program aiming to capture the benefits of an accredited master’s program without the school. Aimed at working architects and design professionals who wish to develop their professional growth.

No Master - play on words:
1 Architects (master builders) without a master’s degree.
2 No school or teachers but but a peer review process, no masters just students
3 Ronin - masterless samurai, term for a secondary school graduate not admitted to university.
