Stephanie Choi works in architecture, installation and time-based media. In her research and teaching, she focuses on spatial justice in the built environment, specifically looking at how intersectional politics can shape environmental justice. Using the techniques of speculative fiction for world-building, she engages in material culture and artifacts to examine the role of technology in the creation of a self in relation to the social. Stephanie is the founder of architecture and design practice Daphne and was the Emerging Scholar Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture for 2020–22. She was a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude in Germany from 2014–16. Her work has been funded by the Graham Foundation and Artist Relief. She holds an MArch from Princeton and a BA in comparative literature from Stanford. Stephanie is licensed in the state of New York and recently taught at Rice Architecture.

SECTION DESCRIPTION
Conceived as the culmination of the technologies sequence of courses, this course allows students to choose amongst the three instructor's differing approaches to the problem of conceiving technology holistically, in relation to a set of architectural criteria. The conceptual and technical aspects of building systems are considered and emergent environmentally-conscious technologies are emphasized for research and application.
Prerequisite: All required technologies courses.
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Enrollment is limited to Architecture Students.
Major Requirement | BArch, MArch (3yr), MArch (2yr): Architecture
Design principles presented in the first semester are further developed through a series of projects involving actual sites with their concomitant physical and historic-cultural conditions. Issues of context, methodology, program and construction are explored for their possible interrelated meanings and influences on the making of architectural form.
Estimated Cost of Materials: $50.00 - $200.00
Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. This course is a requirement for Sophomore Architecture Students.
