GMGX-652: Graduate Mediatecture

An inter-disciplinary design studio exploring the current and emerging relationships between media, architecture and design.The synergy of electronic media and the built environment permeates and re-shapes our perception of everyday life; with moving images leaving the confinement of the TV screen to become a 3-dimensional building material in itself. The curriculum proposes and merges theory, research and practice towards the conception of new ideas and their embodiment and execution in a thought-provoking physical installation piece. Embracing the intersection of culture and technology, this course utilizes the tools at our disposal (software, digital film, video, modeling etc) to re-define or abolish the boundaries between thought and praxis. Open to senior students from all majors. Graduate-level students are expected to provide more comprehensive research than undergrads and a written 500 word statement related to their project(s).
