This past fall (2025), our students completed their final reviews across undergraduate and graduate programs in architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design. 🍂 These reviews included preliminary thesis presentations that will carry forward into the upcoming winter review season. Congratulations to all of our students! Your work, dedication, and creativity continue to inspire us. As a faculty, we couldn’t be prouder, and we’re already looking ahead to our Winter 2026 Reviews this April! Thank you to everyone who shared images and work with us. We’re so grateful to be able to showcase the incredible range of projects and voices from our community. ✨ Students: @lunapoona13 @chaiwallinator3000 @reyansh_kapoor30 @shannon_graham7 @lysat04 @eloraaube @bill__xgo33 @alyf.mohamed14 @misskisswushu @matteos_here @zenkoev @neehsor @larakurosky @grace.jxy @ambareen_01 winnie_design @bryanthosea

Visit The Clearing in the Gray Design Building to explore portfolios from the School of Architecture First-Year Workshops. This spring, students expanded their skill sets through new software, demonstration videos, lectures, and a variety of resources that guided them in the design and development of their first portfolio. The portfolios highlight work from the Fall ’25 workshop series, along with studio projects, sketches, and personal creative explorations. The exhibition features 6 studios, 79 students + portfolios, and 1,000+ pages of curated material from the Fall 2025 semester. 📅 On view: February 4–13 We hope you’ll stop by and take a look. - First Year Architecture Faculty Jill Leckner (Coordinator) Galo Canizares  Owen Duross Melody Farris Jackson Lily Le Regina Summers #architectureuky #architecture #portfolio firstyear #exhibition#architectureuky

This is for all of you studying or interested in architecture & design - the Summer Show website is a great archive of projects from The Bartlett. If you studied here, you already know how useful this is and how inspiring it is to see other students’ work. Not only are the images impressive, but also so cool to see so many different projects with unique narratives. The new website launches every year around end of June which is also when you should visit the physical show in London where the projects are displayed + really cool physical models. You can access the websites from previous years anytime. Save this for your next project 🫵🏻✨ #architectureschool #architecturestudent #architecture
