Architecture
Architects and landscape architects play a critical role in engaging with some of the world’s most complex issues—from climate change to urban density, social and economic diversity to cultural preservation. The School of Architecture’s undergraduate and graduate programs aim to furnish each student with a deep understanding of the field’s fundamentals while developing a holistic perspective of architecture’s vast scope and impact. Our graduates leave ready to tackle the evolving challenges of society and our physical environment.
“
Our School is focused on how architecture, landscape, and urban design negotiate the diverse concerns that are inherent to our urbanized context and ultimately shape how we live.

Systems Integration Project
Architecture
Final Project for Architecture COMP STUDIO ARCH 5120 lead by Professors David Fannon and Michelle Laboy. This project, which site is located in Allston MA, explored the construction of a building that allows adaptive reuse to ensure it last longer. We proposed three programs: a brewery, an art gallery and a performance hall. The building uses passive ventilation techniques, and it is designed to be underground, with three pavilions raising above the ground.
Holyoke Nuevo Horizonte
Architecture
This urban redevelopment project in Holyoke aims to revitalize the city through farmland redesign, cultural district enhancements, and old mill renovations while celebrating Puerto Rican culture.
