In the second half of this two-semester capstone sequence, students will research, develop and articulate a thesis problem and expand prototypes, while documenting their design process through a digital archive, written assignments and presentations. Critiques from Parsons Paris faculty and guest lecturers will give students the opportunity to hear different perspectives on their project throughout the year. Thesis requires a finished project along with a written component to communicate the public presentation of the work. This process prepares students for the transition from undergraduate studies to the professional world.
