Description:

Two options are available to the student for the acquisition and assimilation of the breadth of knowledge required to bring project ideas to fruition: The Comprehensive Development Project is a capstone effort which will demonstrate project concept, planning resolution, land acquisition strategies, estimating, scheduling, financial pro-forma, and value capture intents. The Practicum would entail employment at a vetted office engaged in the actual process of project assembly. A position requiring a minimum of 20 hours per week, prior review and approval of the work plan, and submittal of documentation of the work undertaken would be required for this scenario. The ultimate objective is to provide a roadmap of the interaction between the architect-entrepreneur, market opportunities, and integrated building delivery practices which facilitate the development of student skills necessary to compete in a rapidly changing socio-economic environment. This course is designed to help students learn and use tools and frameworks to create, implement, and update a strategic plan to shape the future and guide an entrepreneurial organization on its path to success. This course will entail collaboration with real world organizations, including city agencies, community development corporations, IIT Department of Community Affairs, or private developers. 6. 000 Credit Hours 6. 000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Doctoral, Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture College of Architecture College Architecture Department
