the program

Welcome to FCAS––the Five College Architecture Community. This site is full of information and opportunities to share work and ideas for students and faculty from across the Five College community. Please register to join our community and participate in our conversations.

The objective of the Five College Architectural Studies program is to cultivate concerned architectural thinkers, writers and designers through a flexible yet rigorous interdisciplinary course of study. The program encourages students to explore a broad cross section of courses - both in and beyond the architecture discipline across the Five Colleges - and introduces students to a diverse collection of faculty members, methodologies and design approaches.

The hub of the FCAS Program is located at:

Hampshire College
Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies
875 West Street, Amherst MA 01002
