This is a self-directed studio in which students synthesize theoretical ideas and conceptual underpinnings developed in Thesis Preparation. Students will work closely with a primary thesis advisor, and select professors and professionals inside and outside the Parsons faculty will serve as secondary advisors and guest critics. Students will present a specific focus in creating designs that challenge or innovate the field. Reconciling multiple stakeholders and audiences, students must shape their work as a form of social engagement, with a particular focus on user-centered design and innovation.
