School of Architecture

An academic proposal for a school of architecture — studios around a court, a heavy street wall that opens inward, and a section cut into the slope.

A B.Arch thesis-stage exploration asking what a school of architecture in the valley should teach through its own body: studios gathered around a working court, model-making and crit spaces at the section’s fold, and a quiet brick-and-concrete envelope that lets student work carry the colour.

The masterplan stages growth by courtyard — build one, occupy it, then extend — so the school is never under construction and never finished.
