ABSTRACT
Thesis work in an architecture curriculum will typically fall into one of two categories: the design thesis and the written thesis. The design thesis is an original, largely self-generated investigation that takes the form of a typical design project presentation. It differs from a design studio project in the depth of investigation and in the thoroughness with which the investigator is expected to know the literature on the topic. Topics suitable for a design thesis may include such investigations as:
• The design implications of a new technology applied to a building type.
