建筑学理学硕士-建筑设计

设计程序既为建筑设计教育学和实践的发展提供了理论基础，又为新设计方法的应用研究提供了平台。为了培养与设计概念有关的独立论文，该计划旨在使学生对创意合成生产的不同模式有批判性的理解，特别是关注新兴的设计活动模式，概念或技术，以及激发当前模式的潜力建筑实践。该计划鼓励跨学科与本系内部以及整个研究所的其他专业研究领域合作，以寻求从麻省理工学院卓越的学术和研究环境中受益。我们将设计视为一种潜在的集成活动，可以协同工作或与其他知识领域建立桥梁。
Building Technology offers students the opportunity to explore critical topics for the future of the built environment and resources. This area explores ways to use design and technology to create buildings that contribute to a more humane and environmentally responsible built world. Strategies employed toward these ends include integrated architectural design strategies, resource accounting through material flow analysis and life cycle assessment, building and urban energy modeling and simulation, human comfort analysis and control design and engineering and other technologically-informed design methods. Students interested in any of these strategies will be challenged to address topics of clear and important relevance to the future of the built environment through creative and analytically rigorous approaches.
