Study Architecture 
ProPEL 
Author(s): James Michael Tate
During Spring 2020 and Spring 2021 semesters, I taught a section of Architectural Design 2, the final foundation-level undergraduate studio course at Texas A&M University. Occupying an “in-between” position within the curriculum sequence—itis studio four of eight—I wrestled with how much the course reinforce conventions, abstract formal experimentation,part-to-whole relationships, and other common concerns of beginning design, versus tackle more advanced topics and andworkflows, theoretical and practical. The studio undoubtedly lives within a liminal space, a middle ground, and so it seems appropriate to craft and situate the design problem within a complimentary framework, both in concept and in bringing to the table some very immediate challenges that exist in micropolitan and metropolitan parts of the Texas Triangle.
