Armando Hashimoto earned a Master of Science in advanced architectural design from Columbia University, where he was a member of the National System of Art Creators and a FONCA Young Creators fellow. In addition to teaching at RISD, he teaches at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. He is co-founder, together with Surella Segú, of El Cielo, an office that encompasses architecture, urban planning, research and consulting projects in urban development, housing and community. Their work has been presented at various biennials and exhibitions and published in national and international media. They presented at the 2019 Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism, the Opportunity of Scarcity exhibition at the 2021 Chicago Architecture Biennale and at Arc en Rêve in Bordeaux, France in 2022.
The Urban Ecologies core studio introduces students to the city as a designed environment with an emphasis on sustainability, giving them the tools to work through impressions, analysis and design operations as ways to understand the relationship between naturally formed and culturally constructed landscapes and strategies for urban ecological development. Students confront the design of housing as a way to order social relationships and shape the public realm and attack the problems of structure, construction, access and code compliance in the context of a complex large-scale architectural design. Estimated Cost of Materials: $50.00 - $200.00

SECTION DESCRIPTION
We begin work on your Thesis Projects from the outset of the semester: navigating arbitrary beginnings; setting boundaries like nets; developing a whole language of grunts, smudges and haiku; gathering the unique and unrepeatable content, forces, and conditions of your project; hunting an emerging and fleeting idea; recognizing discoveries; projecting forward with the imagination; and distilling glyphs, diagrams and insight plans.This course satisfies the prerequisite requirement for Thesis Project.
