Overview

Examining how the production of architecture shapes the physical environment is the fundamental guiding principle of the Applied Studies curriculum at SCI-Arc.

Applied Studies tasks students at Southern California Institute of Architecture with investigating how the world is constructed, what constitutes an environment, and speculating about the ways in which the architecture of the next century might respond to global change.

Features

Foundation courses cover topics such as building methodology, structural analysis, material development and tectonics, acoustics, lighting, and environmental systems.
