Structured as the culmination of the design studio sequence, Research Platforms provides an opportunity for an in-depth, advanced study of a subject matter—be it theoretical, material, or formal—engaging a broad range of methodologies, constituents, and design futures. Each studio focuses on a single, closely-defined research topic that is culled from a variety of scales and contexts—from local to global, from theoretical to material explorations, from formal and cultural investigations of architecture to cities and environments.
