During the time of the futurists, their ideas seemed unachievably outlandish, however as architecture advances it is evolving into a vision very similar to that of the futurists.

There are many opinions on whether digital modeling programs impede the design process, however modeling programs enhance the design process by allowing for designs that are too complex to be done by hand.

While the method of architectural education has worked for a very long time, the evolution of society is creating a need to advance architectural education to encompass more than just the design of a building.

Thesis 1 is interesting, but consider re-wording it. “As architecture evolves it become increasingly similar to the once outlandish visions of futurist architects of (year)”. It could also be made more specific so that you can argue your point in 1500 words. What specific aspect of today’s architecture is most closely link to futurist architecture? Thesis 2 is very interesting and could definitely be argued. Look at other points of view in order to strengthen your argument- if a building is too complex to be done by hand, should it be done at all (talk to Jamie Cooper)? Thesis three should be made more specific. What are the new needs of society? What do you mean by “more than just the design of a building”? Thesis 4 is also interesting- consider using one or two specific example projects to illustrate your point. Thesis 5 is too broad. As mentioned in the Skwire reading, a thesis topic should be specific and restricted; this topic could cover way too many topics for a 1500 word paper.
