M.Arch Thesis 2025

Co-Designer   Thom Moran    

Taubman College produces an annual thesis book documenting the graduating Master of Architecture class’s work. For the 2025 edition, the design is centered around the Emil Lorch column, a fragment that stands in front of the college, quietly marking the passage of generations. The column is a recurring motif throughout the book, becoming a symbol of continuity between past and future theses.

The book records the graduating work, but more importantly, it circulates. Copies move through studios and are handed to new students who use them to see what came before. Over time, the books form an informal archive of ideas and ambitions, connecting one class to the next.
