Architectural Thesis ?
ARCHITECTURAL THESISSEMESTER 10
“IF I HAD TO TEACH ARCHITECTURE....I WOULD STRIVE TO INCULCATE IN MY PUPILS
A KEEN SENSE OF CONTROL--UNBIASED JUDGMENT
AND OF THE “HOW” AND THE “WHY.”
I WOULD ENCOURAGE THEM TO CULTIVATE THIS SENSE TILL THEIR DYING DAY. BUT
I WOULD WANT THEM TO BASE IT ON AN OBJECTIVE SERIES OF FACTS.
FACTS ARE FLUID AND CHANGEABLE ESPECIALLY NOWADAYS, SO I WOULD TEACH THEM
TO DISTRUST FORMULAS AND IMPRESS ON THEM
THAT EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE.”--LE CORBUSIER
THESIS - a statement or theory that is put forward as a premise to be maintained or proved

It is incumbent upon the Thesis Student to….
• Submit all required documentation complete and on time during timely Thesis reviews.
• Establish regular meetings with the Thesis Advisor in order to ensure consistent rigor and progress toward completion. Meeting schedules between the student and the Thesis Advisor can be flexible as long it does not hinder the progress of the student. The student and the Thesis Advisor should establish a convenient schedule to review the project's progress and to exchange ideas.
• Present material to the Thesis Advisor in a manner that effectively allows for reflection, critique and commentary in a timely fashion.
• Document decisions and actions. Take notes at your meetings to keep track of advice, assigned tasks and agree upon time frames.
• Provide outlines, summaries and drafts. These can be provided prior to a meeting for formal feedback regarding key ideas or strategies or for editorial review of text drafts.
• Identify Action Agendas. These should be agreed upon with the Thesis Advisor to pace student progress, and to identify and frame goals for each meeting.
• Engage with Committee members keeping them abreast of progress and utilizing their expertise where and when needed.
