PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture and Design offers its students a platform of integrated disciplines—Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Industrial Design—from which to negotiate the complexities of contemporary practice in a world that is grappling with diminishing economic and natural resources; the realities of post-disaster reconstruction; and at the same time, continued, rapid urbanization.

The 2020–21 Prospectus is the first in a series of publications working to index Hines’ undergraduate architecture program. The students and faculty that have formed this body of work represent myriad of fields of sensibility that range from the most pragmatic professional to the most experimental soul; from the logics of technique to the speculations of history, theory, and criticism; from tactile craftsmen to new design media robotics. Prospectus is not just an archive of new assemblages; it lays forth a hint of what is being discussed to prepare students in emerging fields of architecture. Prospectus has been born in a context of ecological consciousness and celebrates the diversity of design ecologies that dwell in “The House of Education.”
