Overview
Students are challenged to:
- frame architectural inquiries within social, cultural, and interdisciplinary contexts with an emphasis on Asia and the Pacific and tropical climates;
- investigate local/global relations evidenced in theory and practice with an emphasis on the quality of the built and natural environment;
- critically test and expand the definitions of and relationships between the academy and the profession;
- use research as a basis for the grounding of design and as a primary means of expanding knowledge in the discipline;
- participate with local and international partners in applied design research and community outreach projects; and
- Investigate the unique Hawaiian sense of place and its applicability to other international locations.
The program culminates in a capstone project combining research and design. The school’s Asia-Pacific focus is integrated into the curriculum including studio, architectural history, and elective courses. The program therefore aims to prepare students to serve as future professional leaders able to address critical architectural issues specific to the region.
