Carnivalization

Exploration of architecture as critique. As the last studio of the Undergraduate program and a threshold to the graduate program, it seeks to bring together the complexity of an urban-
scale design project with the theoretical underpinnings of critical reflection. This Studio will take a very particular approach to critique exploring the overarching theme of carnival. Carnival as less the periodic festivity or parade than the temporary disregard for social hierarchies, the inversion of structures, parody with vocation, and
a reminder that no authority knows no contradiction.
