ARCH 554:
Specs Studio is a graduate research studio in the Department of Architecture (DoArch) at South Dakota State University.
Specs Studio is about Specifications, Codes, Patents, and other Regulatory documents associated with the production of architecture. Visualizing under examined histories and rewriting them into alternative modes of practice that acknowledge the fullness of architectural labor is the primary goal of the studio. How does the connection between Specifications and Regulations affect the politics of labor, the ethics of material consumption, and people’s lives? This studio is not about designing buildings, but rather about undoing the processes that shape buildings by interrogating forms of written orthography.
