The FIU Department of Architecture hosts its annual Master’s Project Juries at the conclusion of each spring semester. This year, the juries were held on April 20, 2018 at Miami Beach Urban Studios (MBUS).
In their final year, graduate students participate in the Master’s Project juries, a cumulative project part of their studio course. The course, led by faculty members, focuses on design topics chosen by the instructor, ranging from urban development to sustainability.
The individual projects are presented to assigned juries consisting of department faculty and invited industry professionals. Once the reviews are completed, the jurors cast votes for the top two, projects from each design studio.
This semester, fifteen students received awards based on design excellence and best overall presentations. One student, Gabriela Soto, was selected as the Super Jury winner.
These juries mark the completion of the students’ masters program and the beginning of their career.
