MIT graduate program | SMArchS Thesis
Hello dear fellow architects!
I ve recently graduated from a Greek University and here at the final year of our 5 year program we had to submit a research diploma thesis (9th semester) and a design diploma thesis (10th semester).
I am planning on applying to MIT SMArchS graduate program for the academic year 2016/2017. While checking the program's admission requirements I checked that there is a thesis (4.THG.) during the 4th semester. The question is the following:
The thesis is a research based topic you are about to explore and write about or is it a studio based design project called thesis.
Thank you in advance
Why don't you just email the program and get a direct answer? It's not like they charge you for a simple question.
most likely the former.. a good thesis should never be the latter. i would also imagine at that level you are expected to entirely dictate the direction of your thesis independently.. if this seems too challenging or off-putting, i would reconsider applying.
#kickrocks Of course I will email them. I just thought I could get the indisde story! :)
#alrightalright That's what I thought too
Thank you both for your answers!
Any MIT SMArchS current students or recent graduates?
yes, it's a research thesis. Email Cynthia Stewart (stewart@mit.edu) with any questions about the program; she's a great resource and a fabulous human being.
thank you very much for your info #cubicfeet
