Dr. Michael Rabens, a high-class bookworm with an IQ of 160, has just received a doctorate in art history from Princeton. With a love for architecture and history, and a deep desire to discover truth, the sophisticated graduate begins his very own research expedition in Rome, a region rife with social and political conflicts. There he makes a sudden surprising discovery: a series of letters describing a mysterious project in Renaissance Florence, commissioned by the powerful Medici family. But when the letters are stolen by an unlikely enemy, he finds himself at the center of a dangerous plot. After being rescued by renegade spies, he must work to stop the plot from happening, using his knowledge of architecture and history to unearth the Medici Project before its contents end up in enemy hands. Yet Dr. Rabens soon realizes his book knowledge can only get him so far, as he must find the courage to confront his own fears.

"Architecture is the frozen music. Music is the flowing architecture." After being accepted into professional school, we begin the second phase of our education in Studio Four. Professor Jerry Stivers, the bard of this new adventure, leads the sixteen students of 3116 on a journey to discover the timeless relationship between music and architecture, phenomenology and performance. Throughout the semester we discover new perspectives on design through the avenue of song. From a model project for a musical component to a humble performing arts center in OKC, traditional paradigms of architecture are challenged and reignited through this new parametric symphony.

With a leather journal in one hand and a fountain pen in the other, Design Studio goes abroad in Urban USA.In a nine-day expedition across the East Coast of the United States, the eminent Professors Moh and Suzanne Bilbeisi take their students on a trip to Washington D.C. and New York City. Through the art of sketching, with perception and observation, the surprising novelties of these two famous places start to come alive as the students explore the dramas of the city.

It's the last studio before professional school, and the pressure is on...Representing the synthesis of our first year of architecture school and our shared identity as designers, Studio Three is the final test of our pre-professional education, using the fundamental skills we learned from the past two studios. With an eight-week competition focused on redesigning CEAT, a six-week project in the heart of the Los Angeles Arts District, and the pressure of professional school admissions looming over us, there will be no break for us here in the new west wing.

It's the 21st century, and we are still being told that there are no differences between men and women, and that any differences we think exist are simply the result of social constructs--to claim otherwise is considered sexist and misogynistic. Sociologists point to disparities in the workforce, claiming these inequalities are the result of a patriarchal society. Yet what if these disparities could be explained through men and women's own choices and inclinations? What if, instead of simply resulting from the patriarchy, sexism, or societal-imposed gender roles, these differences can be explained through a multitude of factors--a mix of complex and interconnected variables? A look at the current scientific literature on sex differences and their origins, this paper reviews data from the fields of biology, psychology, evolutionary behavioral science, neuroendocrinology, and neurology, showing the complicated and nuanced nature of average sex differences between males and females.
