Centers & Initiatives
The Center for Macro Projects and Diplomacy

The Center for Macro Projects and Diplomacy fosters the interdisciplinary formulation, design, demonstration and debate of large scale project proposals that can contribute to human progress through the improvement of world habitat.

With invited leaders, faculty and students concentrating on clearly-defined issues of importance to the world community -- land, water, energy, food supplies, transportation, environment, housing, education, health, and heritage -- the Center annually will follow through on steps needed to design, display, debate, evaluate, test, and in appropriate cases, deploy undertakings of relevance and urgency.

Project based initiatives are particularly well-suited to be undertaken in Architecture design studios, and in Historic Preservation research, conservation and planning workshops in the school. Community Partnerships are usually completed during a Fall, Spring or Summer session, but may be arranged over a longer period of time.
