The School of Architecture Evolves Immersive Learning at Arcosanti

Appreciation towards TSOA for providing the following description:

由赖特创立于1932年的塔里埃森建筑学院（TSOA）正在经历前所未有的转变。2022年6月，在脱离弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特基金会两年后，TSOA在阿科桑蒂（Arcosanti）重新启程。这一隶属于亚利桑那州Cosanti基金会的实验性沙漠社区将为学院提供蓬勃发展的土壤，使学校保留其长期以来的核心价值，在持续的沉浸式、体验式和实验性学习的基础上提供符合当代需求的设计教育。此外，通过为社区赋予更广泛的内涵，以及对建筑与环境的交汇点进行更加动态的阐释，学院的教学方向也发生了新的变化。

The School Of Architecture, founded by Frank Lloyd Wright as the Taliesin Fellowship in 1932, has undergone a transformation. Two years after separating from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, TSOA has landed and is thriving at Arcosanti, the experimental desert community in Arizona owned and operated by The Cosanti Foundation. The school retains its longtime core values, offering a contemporary design education based on sustained immersive, experiential and experimental learning. But it has set a new course by encouraging a broader definition of community, and a more dynamic interpretation of the intersection between architecture and the environment.

学院新设立的课程兼顾了实验性、动手能力的培养与沉浸式的体验，并将根据学生的教育背景提供2年和3年以上的、受NAAB认证的建筑学硕士学位，以及1.5年的设计-建造学硕士学位。在入门阶段，学生将首先接触展馆和小型公建规模的设计项目，专注于实体思维以及建筑和其他领域的案例研究，在此之后将继续探索规模更大、更复杂的综合项目。

The curriculum is experimental, hands-on, and immersive, and offers 2 and 3+ year NAAB-accredited Master of Architecture degrees, depending upon educational background, as well as a 1.5 year Master of Science in Design-Build degree. At the entry level, students work on design projects at the scales of pavilions and small public projects, focusing on material thinking and precedents from architecture and beyond, and then move on to explore larger, more complex, and integrative projects.

“庇护所项目”（The Shelter Program）是该课程中的特色项目，它将为学生提供独特的机会来设计并建造可以作为未来学生住房的结构。自1930年代该计划成立以来，根据景观和沙漠气候而构建的单人“庇护所”便一直是最具标志性的实践，它反映了学校对自然与建筑环境的关系的重视与思考。

Highlights include The Shelter Program, the school’s capstone design-build program that provides a unique opportunity for students to design and build structures that can be used as housing for future students. The small single-occupancy “shelters”, created by students in response to the landscape and desert climate, have been a hallmark of the program since its inception in the 1930s, and reflect the school’s commitment to the relationship between nature and the built environment.

课程的另一个特殊部分是“理想城21项目”（Usonia 21 Program），这是一个跨学科的服务-学习计划，参照了赖特在本世纪中期开展的Usonian项目，专注于在服务匮乏的社区开发由学生主导的设计和建筑项目，尤其强调具有创新性的经济适用房和经济发展。今年，Usonia 21将关注点放在北卡罗莱纳州的Seabreeze社区。这是建造于种族隔离时代的一处值得瞩目的海滨度假社区，它为当时来自东部沿海地区的黑人提供了在海边度假和庆祝的宝贵机会。该项目是TSOA、内布拉斯加-林肯大学和Land Rich组织合作进行的多学科研究和教学成果。

Another unique component of the curriculum is the Usonia 21 Program, an interdisciplinary service-learning initiative, modeled after Wright’s mid-century Usonian project, that is focused on developing student-led design and building projects in underserved communities, with an emphasis on innovative affordable housing and economic development. This year, the Usonia 21 initiative is focused on Seabreeze, NC, a remarkable Jim Crow-era Black-owned beachside resort community that offered Black people from all along the eastern seaboard, a rare opportunity to celebrate and relax at the seashore during segregation. The project is a multidisciplinary effort between TSOA, the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts at University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Land Rich, an organization that works to reverse Black land loss.
