Architecture & Sustainable Design Senior Capstone Projects

Architecture

Architecture & Sustainable Design features the capstone architectural design work of building science and sustainable design majors in their final semester of study at Penn College. Each graduating senior was tasked with the design and development of a significant building in an urban setting. Students will present design process drawings, 3D models, and computer renderings depicting their individual solutions.

I am thrilled to share capstone projects designed by Penn College architecture students in their final design studio. This studio represents the culmination of four years of effort, where students are able to apply everything they’ve learned relating to architectural history, design, graphics, building materials, structures, environmental systems, working drawings, building information modeling and sustainability. Students were assigned two major projects, the first to design a Bauhaus school of architecture in Brazil; the second to propose and design any typological building of their choice in a location they deem fit. This was a unique semester as students had to navigate unprecedented circumstances that both challenged and motivated them. Nonetheless, the work submitted by students was exceptional and awe-inspiring!
