Mission Statement
Student’s work of the Five College Architectural Studies program rarely leaves the classroom. The 5 Columns provides a solution to this problem: it is a group focusing on a biannual publication of student work in order to bring the isolated classroom project into the vast successes of the Five Colleges. We, as students, have noticed this segregated environment and want to formulate a community based on the common interest of architectural studies. The publication - known as The Column - will not only showcase the creative projects that are oft to be forgotten, but also offer an opportunity to write articles about theory, practice, and research concepts that never have had the opportunity to reach the entire Five College community. Along with this, we will have a more frequent digital publication that portrays the recent events and activities students are involved with. The basic premise behind this is to strengthen our community by publishing work, whether it be theoretical or practical.
