Harvard’s Department of History of Art and Architecture and the Graduate School of Design are developing a new undergraduate concentration in architectural studies planned to be offered for the first time in the fall of 2012.

nothing about the article suggests anything akin to a B.Arch.
This is a good thing. By my reading of the article, this will add a dozen or so students per year to the small group of non-architects that have a studied appreciation for architecture. Surely some will pursue professional degrees, but as other schools with 4 year architecturally inclined programs have demonstrated, many will end up working in other fields.
edit: and hey Apu, long time...Good World in 07 or 08? you still in NYC?
"While architecture programs at many peer institutions are pre-professional in nature, Harvard’s proposed concentration would remain in step with the College’s other concentration offerings."
my guess is more like princeton or yale's undergrad, which I think has 2 years of studio, or an even more diluted studio experience and a focus on theory.

Thought we were phasing out the B.arch? Sounds like an M.arch feeder program to me.

This would be a 4 year undergrad degree? Or like a year-long course of study as an art history major?
definitely doesn't sound like a 4 year degree:

Underground ladies in the Gund - game on.
