Program Description

In the realm of architectural design, two primary elements define the essence of a structure: its creation ('Making') and its significance ('Meaning'). The M+M Alphabet seeks to explore this intricate relationship, serving as a guide to the foundational principles that bind the process of creation with the depth of significance.

The M+M Alphabet isn't just a lexicon but a philosophy. It aims to bridge the tangible with the intangible, grounding architectural designs in both their physicality and their profound implications, ultimately bringing clarity to the intertwined dance of 'Making' and 'Meaning' in architecture.

The M+M Alphabet is a program that provides students with an opportunity to learn about architecture and design, make physical models, and display their work. This course is aimed at integrating digital representation, architectural design, and fabrication methods into a wide variety of tools and techniques. At the end of the course, students are invited to exhibit their design work and receive criticism from prominent architects and designers.
