Fifth-Year Students View Thesis Books

The thesis book serves as a significant artifact of an architect’s education. Last week, our fifth-year students gathered to discuss their ongoing thesis documentation endeavors. They pinned-up progress from their own pages and found inspiration in a collection of thesis books made by former students. Professors Chris Pritchett and Bill Galloway spoke about essential design decisions including typeface, material, binding, scale, storytelling, and graphic layout. The students reminded one another of foundational design considerations including hierarchy, proportion, rhythm, and color. We look forward to watching these ideas come to life!”
