The Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies, IAUS or Institute for short, is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the study of architecture in the city. The Institute offers an intensive individualized design studio to students who are interested in architecture at all scales of its expression. Particular emphasis is placed on architecture as a cultural activity, how architecture intersects other disciplines, how advanced technology is used to create new environments, how new ways of living, work and play transform our buildings and how collaboration creates a new paradigm of practice.
