About

This website features samples of the richly diverse creative work of 2023–2024 thesis students in the Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies (BAAS) program at the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design at the University of Toronto. 

Thesis is a year-long endeavor at the Daniels Faculty. At the conclusion of the third year in the program, students in three BAAS Specialist Streams – Design, Technology, and History, Theory and Criticism – are eligible to apply for thesis. Once selected, all BAAS thesis students take a Senior Research Seminar in the Fall term of their fourth year, led by one of three Daniels Faculty members who continue as advisors to their group of thesis students throughout the year.

During the Fall, students work to develop individual thesis proposals, pursuing their research through reading, writing, design, fabrication, case study analysis, as well as discussion and debate. In the Winter term’s Senior Thesis Design Studio, students further develop their research, extending into design projects. Final Thesis Reviews, the culmination of a year’s work, are held at the end of April.
