Abstract

The Graduate School of Architecture at the University of Florida is conducting institutional research regarding the changing nature and gradual evolution of its end-of-studies Masters Research Project (MRP). Covering a decade of work, the authors contextualize the MRP in the sequence of the graduate studies and identify its role in the dual character of finishing the curricular requirements and initiating the students in a personal, professional or academic itinerary. The conclusions highlight the evolutionary trends in subjects and concerns, pointing towards an increasingly student-centered education that sets research priorities as defined by the upcoming generations.
