2025 Undergraduate Thesis Reviews

SCI-Arc is proud to present the 2025 Undergraduate Thesis Reviews, an immersive two-day event showcasing the culminating work of our fifth-year B.Arch students. Under the guidance of Undergraduate Thesis Coordinator Maxi Spina, students will present their final projects, engaging in critical discourse with jurors, faculty, and leading professionals in the field.

A defining moment in SCI-Arc’s pedagogy, Undergraduate Thesis is more than a final project—it’s a platform where students define their architectural positions, challenge conventions, and engage with the discipline as peers. With over 80 jurors, critics, and industry leaders in attendance, the event fosters dynamic conversations that shape the future of architecture.

This year’s thesis projects reflect the pulse of contemporary culture—examining site, environment, typology, and materiality through radical and speculative proposals. From concert halls embedded in abandoned quarries to reverse panopticon government buildings that challenge traditional power structures, students are reimagining the built environment in ways that provoke, question, and expand architecture’s agency.

Join us April 18-19 at SCI-Arc to experience the boundary-pushing work of the 2025 Undergraduate Thesis class.
