A digital collage created by students in GCPE's Spring 2024 studio research. It shows a big-screened auditorium in a public space along a path, with several people walking, cycling, and standing for a picture. The path disappears into some trees, with the background of a city's harbour.

Join us for our end of semester studio presentations. Studio courses are a key component of our interdisciplinary Masters degree programs. Students work directly with community partners to tackle contemporary urban issues through innovative, equitable practices in neighborhood planning, preservation, placemaking and sustainability.
