Review summary

SUPERjury is an all school public review and exhibition of select design work from the entire studio curriculum. SUPERjury fosters a merit-based competition in the school which provides an opportunity for the best students to be exposed to the larger architectural community. Due to the diverse nature of the studios offered, the intention of the SUPERjury is for students and faculty to see the quality of work within each studio and thesis, as well as have an important dialogue on the architecture curriculum of the school in its entirety.
