Masters of Architecture Thesis Open House

We're inviting the professional and alumni community to see students' work on June 13th from 10 am - 2 pm in an open-house gallery-style display.

The School of Architecture students pursuing the Master of Architecture degree engage in a yearlong investigation in which they select a topical issue, develop a body of research both within and outside the discipline of architecture, and create a complete and detailed architectural design response to the topic. Master of Architecture thesis projects at Portland State range from community-focused public interest design concepts to explorations of architectural materiality and sustainability, from the poetic to the concrete and everything in between. The thesis program culminates in oral presentations to a panel of invited jurors, followed by producing a commemorative book detailing the student's research, design process, and inspiring results.
