I hadn't really had many opportunities to work with fifth year thesis students during my first fourteen years teaching architecture, but in academic year 2005-2006 I made a change and was given the chance to work with a group of fifth-year thesis students that had been preparing to study with Professor Heather Woofter. Heather left to join the faculty at Washington University and recommended her students work with me during their thesis. Heather's generosity changed my life in that I was able to get to know a group of people who are intensely pursuing architecture, and are very good people. I hear from them still every now and then, it makes my day to hear how they are doing and see what they are studying.
The undergraduate thesis books are graphically intensive, file sizes are large so be ready for long download times, but these documents are worth the wait.

I've had the pleasure to work with many students on their Master of Architecture advisory committee over the years.
I don't have a complete record of them, but will post those that I have. They include some where my role was as chair of the advisory committee, some as member, and a few I wasn't formally involved with, but thought were important to post for your consideration.
What unites this diverse set of project vehicles is that they all pursue questions larger than the project, site, or type itself, using the project as a means to study something more. This strategy was intended to give them a model to help them survive the early years of technical internship and emerge with ideals for design intact...changed, yes, but intact.
