  • FIU Efolio S'2018
    FIU eFolio S’2018 INTRODUCTION STUDENTS EVENTS STUDY ABROAD FACULTY ALUMNI INTRODUCTION I am pleased to write that this is the tenth issue of eFolio! This e-magazine began in the Fall of 2013, the year our spring graduates began their masters, providing them with a complete record of the events and accomplishments of the department during their time here at FIU. As in years past, this issue documents the terminal studios of the Master of Architecture, the Master’s Project. The Master’s Project Final Jury is a very special day for the department. As a collective event, it brings together students, faculty, outside academics and professionals, friends and families. Each year, the department offers seven diverse Master’s Project studios and brings them together for a day of reviews. It is a moment of great pluralism and collegiality. This year was particularly satisfying as it ushered in two new events. The first was the inclusion of our inaugural Genoa Master’s Project Studio lead by Senior Instructor Eric Peterson. We held our juries for the third year in a row at our Miami Beach Urban Studios (MBUS) and included a live feed from the Convento di Santa Maria di Castello, Genova allowing for our first intercontinental Master’s Project final review. In the evening, we held our second new event, the Master’s Project Super Jury. The jury began at 6:00pm (midnight for our Genoa studio) with the top students from each of our seven studios presenting. The jury then provided feedback and selected a Super Jury First Prize winner.
