Presenting the 2024 Graduate Thesis Weekend, September 6-8

We are excited to announce the Graduate Thesis Weekend on September 6-8, where the graduating class of 2024 will present their culminating projects. These works, produced through a semester of intensive research and a summer of experimentation and production, reflect the innovative spirit that defines our graduating M.Arch 1 and M.Arch 2 students.

As the fall term begins, Graduate Thesis at SCI-Arc serves as a critical juncture, linking the outgoing visions of our graduates with the fresh perspectives of incoming students. Over the course of the weekend, our thesis students will have the opportunity to articulate, propose, and defend their work to the SCI-Arc community and beyond. This event brings together a diverse group of guest critics from both within and outside the discipline, alongside 19 faculty thesis advisors, to engage in thoughtful reflection and rigorous debate on the provocations and possibilities presented by 75 students. Their projects will remain on display in the halls of SCI-Arc for an extended week as part of the 2024 Graduate Thesis Exhibit.

“This year’s graduate thesis projects are centered around three key themes: matter, form, and new technological narratives,” says Jackilin Hah Bloom, Graduate Thesis Coordinator. “Our students have deeply engaged with the design process, embracing experimentation and crafting their own unique workflows—whether analog, digital, or a blend of both. Each project stands as a distinct exploration, and together, they establish a conversation that resonates with the challenges and opportunities of today and the future of architecture.”
