Architecture Thesis Projects: A Comprehensive List of 30 Topics to Pick From (Updated 2024)

Architecture Thesis: A culmination of all those years of intense training, sleepless nights, countless submissions and unforgettable memories. The grand finale!

It is a real test to showcase all the skills you’ve gained over the years in a single project. Naturally, choosing the right topic from an ocean of architecture thesis topics is one of the biggest challenges you can face as a final year student, as the topic itself may define the trajectory of your thesis!

To ease your conflicted mind, we have curated a comprehensive list of popular architecture thesis projects you might want to explore in your final year, along with links to relevant theses across the internet for your ready reference.

Go on, have a look! What sparks your interest?

Housing/ Residential Projects

1. Affordable Housing

“Housing for all” is a major goal developing countries are striving to achieve. Not everyone has the resources to own a house or even rent one out. Conscious and well-planned housing design can turn cities into places where owning a house is not merely a dream. And architects can play a pivotal role in achieving this noble goal.

2. Gated Communities

With the city centres choking with pollution, traffic congestion and over-population, many people are now moving to the suburbs in closed, secure and private gated communities. These colonies circumference almost every major city now, with more emerging as you read. A gated community design could be an interesting (though slightly controversial) architecture thesis topic to explore residential neighbourhood planning.

3. Modular/ Disaster Relief/ Emergency Shelters

Land and resources are limited but the demand for them only keeps increasing giving rise to environmental hazards like deforestation, pollution and depletion of natural assets. In a rapidly changing, calamity-prone world, the design of modular, mobile, disaster relief shelters is the need of the hour!

4. Slum Redevelopment

Urban informality may be a fascinating, complex issue to tackle for your architecture thesis projects. Many people have varied opinions on the dense, informal urban developments popularly known as ‘slums’ , but few are willing to tackle the difficult issue from top to bottom (or bottom up!). Are you one of the few?

Institutional Projects

5. Educational and Skill-Training Institutions

Schools play an important role in shaping a person and are key in bringing up generations of bright individuals. Educational and skill-training institutions have vast options, ranging from kindergartens to higher-education institutes; schools of dance to special-needs institutes ! Ready to shape minds?

6. Rehabilitation and Wellness Institutions

A sound mind and sound body are key to a happy life!

Unfortunately, sometimes individuals have to be institutionalised to get their health back on track. Rehabilitation centres and centres for people with depression or trauma aim at people’s mental wellness, while public gyms and civic sports centres aim at people’s physical wellness. If healing architecture and landscape is something you like, this could be the best architecture thesis topic for you!

7. Research Institutions

Progress in science, technology and humanities improves our way of living and ensures our well-being. The Sheldon Coopers among us wouldn’t be happy to see any fewer research centres and laboratories than there are!

Public Infrastructure Projects

8. Hospitals

Healthcare services are undoubtedly the most important services any region needs. The pandemic has made us understand how under-equipped even the best hospitals can be and so there is an even bigger reason for every hospital, be it multi-speciality/ speciality , maternity, special needs, public or private , to be as well designed as possible. This, more than ever, is the need of the hour and can make for a pressing architecture thesis project.

9. Transit Hubs

Airports , Bus Terminals , Railway Stations , Inland Waterways, Seaports.

Do you love to travel? Have you ever waited for a train and imagined how much better that railway station could be? Then what are you waiting for? Be the change!

10. Sports Stadia

Remember that first stadium experience of watching a cricket or football match? The energy of the crowd, the adrenaline rush! Most group sports stadia ( Cricket , Football , Hockey, Baseball, etc) and sports cities require meticulous study before designing, making a very suitable architecture thesis project for students.

11. Urban/Street Redevelopment

How often do we walk the streets of our cities and almost die because a bike passed within inches of us? Street redevelopment projects catering to pedestrianisation are proven to improve the lives of millions and are rapidly gaining urgency in the urban design domain.

These projects often require extensive site study. Not sure what all to cover in your site analysis? Read - Site Analysis Categories You Need to Cover For Your Architecture Thesis Project .

12. Waterfront Development

Rivers are considered sacred and life-giving across the world. The pitiful conditions of water bodies today have led urban designers to take up River/Canal-front Development Projects which aim at minimising water pollution, a smooth transition from land to water, and ultimately encouraging visitors for leisure and fun activities.

13. Public Parks and Plazas

Parks are the lungs of the concrete jungles many of us live in. After a day of intense work, all we need is some greenery and fresh air; or to grab a beer at that corner cafe in the city square! The design of public parks, plazas and playgrounds could be the best architecture thesis topic for an urban/landscape enthusiast.

14. Social Infrastructure

A robust, well-functioning society accommodates and facilitates the wellness of all its citizens and living beings. Infrastructure like orphanages , nursing homes , animal shelters , night shelters , daycare centres, banks, prisons , juvenile schools, community development centres , and many more tend to those social needs of the society which cannot be overlooked. Inclined towards public welfare? Look no further!

Socio-Cultural Projects

15. Community and Convention Centres

Humans are social animals. Now and then, we crave a meet-and-greet. Community and Convention Centres cater to this very need, and exploring the design angles for human interaction may be something worthy of your architecture thesis project. Be ready for competition though, this is one of the most popular architecture thesis topics students undertake!

16. Museums and Libraries

The culture-lovers among us would understand the value of a good museum or library and appreciate a well-designed one. Be it a museum of arts and crafts, culture, architecture , history or science, if the give and take of knowledge through some entertainment and delight (infotainment) is something you see yourself doing, then this could be the best architecture thesis topic for you.

17. Memorials

Memorials are the physical manifestations of the struggles endured, victories earned and life-changing events in history. They remind us to never forget the past, hoping for a better future at the same time, making memorial design both a fascinating yet weighted exercise.

18. Places of Worship/ Spiritual Centres

One cannot separate a human from their faith. Having a place to worship or connect with one’s spiritual self is as important to a human as going to school or a cinema hall. Places of worship like temples, churches, masjids, gurudwaras, monasteries , etcetera; and spiritual or meditation centres serve as places for gathering and become important landmarks in a settlement.

Conservation and Heritage Projects

19. Conservation of Heritage Structures

Conservation of the priceless built heritage like palaces, monuments, places of worship, ancient settlements, etc has always been on the agenda of organisations like UNESCO and the Archeological Survey of India. If historical significance gets your heart rate up, hi history nerd! Help in conserving our heritage structures !

20. Adaptive Reuse of Heritage Buildings

History nerd, if you’re still here, here’s another architecture thesis topic for you. Some heritage can be conserved to attract tourists and some that are too out-of-order could be modified and reused for a different purpose, generating economy. Converting royal palaces into heritage hotels, a king’s court into an emergency ward for covid patients or factories into community spaces, adaptive reuse of the built form requires fine skill, respect for heritage, and an active imagination!

Offices/ Corporate Projects

21. Government Buildings

Workspaces for all government officials are mandatory for smooth administration. The scale of government buildings is diverse, from the Central Vista Redevelopment Project (*ahem*) to a district-sessions court. Some common categories are high courts, government-owned banks, secretariat and corporation buildings , income-tax offices, assembly and gathering centres , media offices and so on.

Sounds boring? Don’t be so sure. What originally sounds typical is where there is maximum potential to surprise your critics!

22. Corporate Office Towers

We all have seen or at least talked about the famous corporate jungles of our towns. They not only serve as important landmarks but help in increasing the economic value of a region (Very SEZ-y!). If you wanna tame the jungle, you could explore corporate office-building design for your architecture thesis topic.

23. Co-working and Remote-working Spaces

A popular trend before COVID was sharing workspaces, which now have the potential to be thought of as remote-working spaces! Rethinking the design of co-working spaces is very relevant to the times and has great scope for innovation.

With the times we live in, this could be the best architecture thesis topic!

Entertainment and Commercial Projects

24. Theatres and Auditoria

Who doesn’t like good showtime with family and friends? Theatres, auditoria and performance centres are the core of spaces showcasing and witnessing talent, and fall under another typology which has the potential to be reworked post-pandemic. The design of such entertainment stations can test the knowledge of large-span structures without losing a strong grip on creativity and functionality.

25. Multiplexes and Malls

Malls and multiplexes are very popular among the masses as they possess multiple brands of shopping, entertainment and food centres. Whether or not you agree with the mall typology, more keep coming up in growing towns every year. So why not study how they work and improve the concept for your architecture thesis project? The consumerist urbania will thank you!

26. Marketplaces

Shopping for groceries and essential commodities is a frequent need, and most people head to a single marketplace for all their essential goods shopping. A place with a high frequency of movement requires meticulous and thorough design, but can also be one of the most fun challenges to take up! Think farmer markets, community-owned produce markets, mandis, harbour fish markets, and flea markets, the possibilities are endless!

27. Mixed-Use Hubs

Taking your design challenge up a notch is by taking up a mixed-use hub . This is a high-density area that caters to more than one function and has mega economic value. It could be a combination of residential, commercial, institutional, or hospitality, commercial and public space, or much more. This concept is taken to another level by bringing transit hubs into the fray with transit-oriented development!

28. Film, Photo and Animation Studios

The use of digital media has increased multifold in the past couple of decades. A lot of creatives express themselves through digital content, increasing the need for more film , photo, animation and integrated studios . Since these functions can be highly specialised, there is a lot of potential to do impressive research for your architecture thesis project!

Hospitality and Tourism Projects

29. Eco-Tourism Resorts and Visiting Centres

Imagine spending a weekend at a secluded place, close to nature, with all the facilities you need to relax and just de-stress! Ecological resorts and tourist visiting centres aim to cause as little damage to the environment as possible. Keen on environmental sustainability, eco-tourism resorts should be encouraged in the tourism and hospitality industry and make for very relevant architecture thesis topics.

Landscape architecture enthusiasts, where are you all at?

30. Backpacker Lodging/ Youth Hostels

While the question of travel arises, not everyone can afford finely kempt hotels or resorts to lodge at. The youth may opt for backpacking trips to save money as well as to have an interesting experience! Backpacking/ youth hostels like Zostel and Nomads World are buzzing for their affordability, convenience and prospects of networking with like-minded people. If this is your jam, consider creating innovative spaces for it!

Futuristic/ Sci-fi/ Conceptual Projects

How about a settlement on Mars? Or a concert hall in the air? A transit hub of 2050? A forest within the city? Perhaps a residential colony on the water!

Such futuristic or conceptual architecture thesis topics are all the more enthralling as they might not have any precedents.

Architecture Thesis of the Year

Results - aty 2022.

The most amazing Architecture Thesis of 2022!

Academic Design endeavours allow the free flow of unfettered ideas – experimental, bold, promising, and unconventional. An intensive architectural discourse and a collaborative design process are essential to developing ingenious solutions to complex problems of the future.

An Architecture Thesis is considered the avant-garde – pushing the boundaries of what is accepted as the norm in the architectural realm. It is the outcome of months of painstaking research and an excruciating design process yet it hardly gets any recognition beyond the design studio. It is imperative to share such revolutionary ideas with the entire fraternity to open up new possibilities for dialogue.

‘Architecture Thesis of the Year 2022’ is an international architecture thesis competition that aims to extend appreciation to the tireless effort and exceptional creativity of student thesis in the field of Architecture. We seek to encourage young talent in bringing their path-breaking ideas to the forefront on a global scale.

Ecotone - Urban Farm

Humans have been acting as a planetary force disturbing the ecosystems, which resulted in a remarkable increase in the number of occurrences of pandemics and epidemics in the last decades, with the latest being COVID-19.

In addition to the direct impact of the virus on people’s health, COVID-19-induced lockdowns have led to severe and widespread increases in global food insecurity, affecting vulnerable households in almost every country. This issue particularly revealed a need for an urban food production system which is the core motivation for this project.

Ecotone is a prototype for food production in urban areas, which enables the development of a local, sustainable, and resilient food system that integrates the latest technologies to make urban farming a more productive and engaging process. The design process was based on the exploration of the relationship between human and non-human entities from a post-humanistic perspective, which does not completely exclude the Anthropocene, but rather surpasses it. It entails a critique of human exceptionalism and human as a universal measure of all things. The posthuman subject is not limited to biology, it also assumes technology into its totality in an equal manner reconsidering the role of machines from “perfect slaves” to “mechanical partners”.

Ecotone also aims to redevelop and revive the brownfields of Amman to create breathing spaces within the existing fabric of the city by reusing food waste as compost for soil, which is a form of recycling and a natural way of returning needed nutrients to the soil.

Jury Comments

“Good presentation. Strong idea to create an urban farmscape. Mixing strong built form with temporary booths is good.” – Virginia Cartwright

Second Prize Winner

Germinating the Future of St. Louis

The research for this project was concerned with the growing disproportionate food insecurity seen predominantly in communities of North St. Louis. The project envisions how the site of a former Schnucks Supermarket located on the corner of 10th & Cass Avenue, in the food desert community of Columbus Square, could be revitalized to become a beacon for sustainable growth and strengthen the ritual of food. This would be achieved by transforming the 10.5-acre site into a sustainable horticulture center and contemporary public food market.

The conceptual framework I utilized in designing my project, and understanding growth was the process of germination. I conducted a series of studies focused on understanding the germination of roots and rhizomes in their ability to transform, embed and expand bringing new life. The project utilizes closed loop rainwater runoff collection systems for hydroponic growing and irrigation of the surrounding site. Operable greenhouse roofs allow for cross ventilation. Through programmatic elements of a demonstration kitchen, nutrition counselling offices, vendor spaces, and community farming, the project becomes more than a place to purchase food but an educational community resource. The project’s benefits extend beyond the site and connect to the nearby Patrick Henry Elementary School, St. Louis Public High School, and Senior Living at Cambridge Heights to become an intergenerational daily used staple. A built environment, which prioritizes healthy food alternatives and comprehensive food education in food desert communities, is one model for germinating the future of St. Louis.

Healing House

“I wake up… and then what?”

Healing house was started by Benthe (name anonymized), a classmate who was diagnosed with a brain tumour. During her illness and rehabilitation process, she encountered the limitations of the current healthcare architecture. Therefore Benthe created a manifesto of healthcare, to improve healthcare buildings. Healing house is my reaction to the manifesto.

What if a patient designs the healthcare center?

During the process, interviews and workshops were held with Benthe’s relatives, healthcare providers, healthcare developers, scientists and others. It was striking that everyone wanted the same: everyone knows someone who has been in the hospital and wants to take care of them. There was a general call for the building to be very specific, but flexible at the same time. Every patient is unique and has their own needs.

The building has grown from the bed and spaces have been added step by step: the dwelling, communal rooms, a public ground floor, a health clinic, the garden and city spa and the facades. Where the current building turns away from its surroundings, Healing house blends into its surroundings (kintsugi).

Can architecture influence healthcare?

Due to the privatization of healthcare, many healthcare buildings have been designed as efficient machines, where the insurer determines the quality of vulnerable life. In Healing house this is radically reversed: here the resident, their relatives and therefore the quality of life (and death) are key on all scale levels. Healing house is designed through the eyes of the resident from an I-perspective, not as an architect.

The chapter titled Contested, Legitimizing and Integrating Carnival Spaces first defines social, cultural, and religious spaces critically, in terms of continuity, post-coloniality, multi-culturalism, sub-culture studies, cultural change, and post-modern hyperspace with an objective of capturing the stability-dynamism dialectic of space and its inseparability with discourses of different epochs of history and power. Space presents the evidences of contest between the dominant and the dominated classes and it remains in the state of flux. It creates the disposition for action among both—the dominant and dominated. Any cultural study has to take into account the history of physical and perceptual space in which the carnival introduces the contact between the urban-rural-tribal communities. Both Kumbha Mela and Medaram Jatra appear to be contested spaces although the nature and scope of contests present in them does vary. The object of contest is share in cultural capital. This share manifests in the form of performance rights. The Kumbha Mela space, at present, is defined and controlled by three different entities—ascetic orders, ‘Temple complex’, and ‘Dharmshala Complex’. Out of these, ascetic orders, represented by All India Akhada Parishad, have overriding rights. Temple Complex is, historically, controlled by priest community and it contributes to the stability factor. Dharmshala Complex is the only entity in which other communities can perform. Ujjain is unique, in terms of Dharmshalas, out of the four Mela centres. Here, low-caste communities also have their own Dharmshalas and accordingly, they have some performance rights as well. This uniqueness is,obviously, a product of history. Medaram Jatra is solely controlled, at present, by Tribal Research Institute, Hyderabad. Other government agencies, including the Endowment Department are in supportive role. There exists a Jatra organizing committee also but its role, at present, is mostly decorative. Because of this historically created organizing power structure, the community identities get dissolved although all individuals, irrespective of their community identity have certain performance rights. The locus of performance rights, otherwise, is solely within the Koya priests. In Kumbha Mela, the contest is driven by the integration of identities of different communities sharing similar traditional profession while in the Jatra, the objective is to achieve social affinity within a tribal community as well as with other associated (tribal- and caste-) communities sharing same geographical identity, and of course, subjected to the same power structure throughout history. There is a clear contest for cultural and religious autonomy at both the carnival sites. At Simhastha, the tribal communities are learning from the struggle of low-caste communities who have evolved the Valmiki narrative and are contesting fiercely for more physical and autonomous space. As a result of this contest, a new Valmiki Dham and a separate Valmiki Ghat have been created in Ujjain. In the Kumbha Mela space, social affinity has been constructed by direct violence and matrimonial alliances (Rajput, Bhil, and Meena). In the Jatra space, the internal segmentation of lineages and diffusion of identities through Jogini system have evolved territorial social affinities that are yet to be integrated into a cohesive whole (Koya-Konda, Reddy-Chenchu-Naikapod). The greatness achieved by the Jatra space, despite similar antiquity, is not as comprehensive as the Mela space due to their differential integrating strengths. Traditionally, the legitimization of cultural practices and social status of communities wrested upon the urban priestly elite community, i.e., the Brahmins. With emergence of democratic state, the privileges accorded to the Brahmin in determining the social status of a community have eroded and have been replaced by other religious or quasi-religious institutions. Ascetic orders in Mela Space have taken over the role of traditional, state-patronized, urban, priestly elites. This autonomy has not been achieved by the jatara space which still depends on the local Tribal Research Institute for the purpose.

Folk religion is a part of every religious tradition. Folk religion paves way for innumerable people to express their longing towards particular gods, goddesses, favourite heroes, saints and so on, in ways in which they feel comfortable, but which depart from the path that orthodoxy prescribes. Followers of folk religion are large in number and so it is always difficult, if not impossible for those who adhere to orthodox doctrines to check effectively such heterodox groups. That is true with both monotheistic as well as polytheistic religions. The focus of this study is to discuss the folk religious practise of shrine veneration (dargah-parastish) within the Sufi mystical tradition of South Asian Islam. Specifically, we will look at one particular shrine (dargah) in the city of Pune – the tomb of Qamar Ali Darvesh – and its socio-religious and economic impact on the people there, based on interviews with devotees from various social strata. METHODOLOGY:-Survey Questionnaire Methodology-The Methods Researchers have available to them include qualitative and quantities methodologies, in the broader sense. Specifically, these methodologies may exhibit themselves as focus group research method, written questionnaires, executive interviews, and one-to-one interviews and so on. This research is based on a questionnaire and interview based-survey of 125 devotees of varying social and economic status, gender and age to test the hypothesis that dissonance exists in the informants' experience. The interviewees were Hindus as well as Muslims and both men and women. Two separate questionnaires were formed for Muslims and non-Muslims. Shrine Veneration One method of reaching God for Muslims has been the practise of shrine veneration. While visiting the graves of Muslims and reciting surah from the Quran there to transfer merit to the dead have always been considered meritorious acts, 1 many Muslims attach a greater significance to visiting the tombs of Sufi saints. Sufis showed such intense love for God that their lives became an inspiration to many, who, in order show their love for such Sufis began to honour and remember them by venerating their tombs. Many believe that because the Sufi saints are holy persons and closely associated with God, the places where they are buried become holy ground. So visitors approach the shrines with reverence and respect, removing their footwear while entering a shrine compound, and when they want to convey something to others, they talk in hushed voices. Today we find such tomb shrines (dargahs) all over India. Saint veneration is generally performed by all social classes of South Asian Muslims, but more so among the lower classes. According to Troll, the shrines have played a vital role in society by transcending the boundaries of class and caste structures and have helped to integrate local culture with the Muslim environment. The shrines receive income in the form of donations,

Tourism: An International Interdisciplinary Journal

Kiran Shinde

This paper examines the spatial and temporal contexts that contribute to the fostering of communitas in contemporary South Asian religious travel, with particular attention to the influence of ritual performances and the mediation of social actors engaged in the cultural economy of religious tourism. It is based on the case studies of two sites located in the western Indian state of Maharashtra – Tuljapur and Shirdi. While the first is a site where hereditary lineages of priests perform rituals that are integral to pilgrimage practice, the second is associated with Sai Baba, a 20th century guru, whose spiritual-magical charisma continues to attract millions of visitors and the pilgrimage activity is managed by a centrally administered trust. Hence, they represent a spectrum of pilgrimage sites; at one end are the sites that are managed through social and informal networks (Tuljapur) and at the other are those managed by a public organization (Shirdi). A diverse range of religious functionaries including gurus, priests, and temple managers assist visitors in performing pilgrimage rituals and facilitate arrangements for lodging and boarding in Tuljapur. In Shirdi, these functions are handled by a charitable public trust that administers the shrine, and guides and tour operators and hotels that mediate movement and experience of visitors. The paper highlights how the different spatial modes of engagement with pilgrimage rituals and the mediation by religious specialists through distinct socio-spatial relationships play a significant role in creating the situations for fostering of communitas.

This article explores the making and unmaking of a shared shrine culture at an integrated religious site in north India, known for the entanglement of Hindu and Islamic religious figures. In particular, what prompts Hindu devotees to protect ‘the otherness’ of two Muslim saints from the attacks of right-wing Hindus who, after recent political developments in India, began to challenge the religious others’ presence next to Hindu sacred figures, Shiva and Hanuman. Following Carla Bellamy, it is shown that Muslim saints represent power ready to be used and harnessed by Hindus if they are willing to transcend their religious boundaries, which in turn, following Levinas, creates an ethics of responsibility for ‘the other’ demanding protection of the Muslim saints’ ontological being and their symbolism of devotion and unique power among Hindus. Hindu devotees, it is argued, exercise cooperative segregation and emphasize the importance of distinction to save the religious culture associated with the two Muslim saints and preserve the symbolism of otherness.

The article is based on ethnographic fieldwork the author has been engaged with a few years back (2004-2006) in the south western Indian state of Kerala. This is more a summary of a work grounded on the author’s own research with brief statements or notes on the field, the problems, and the methods; followed with an extrapolation into possible conclusions and theorisations. The major concern of the work was the transformation of spaces with a focus on public space and new religiosities. It enquired into the dialogues between the two processes and the significance of such dialogues.

Vinod Chovvayil Panengal

The idea of secularism in India has taken a different direction after independence when religion became a reason for a great divide in, otherwise harmonious society. Since then the religious spaces became protected and more sacred and not shared. However there is a larger threat on beliefs, rituals, and the spirituality of these religions in the form of technology, tourism and globalisation. In a way they weaken the importance of religion from our society over a period of time. The importance of religion to a sense of place has been overlooked or diminished. Religion provides symbolic meaning to places which distinguishes certain physical environments from otherwise similar ones. The rapid transformation of urban spaces, eliminating the territorial differences of sense, spirit and identity have started creating urban centers rooting out this genre of unique urban spaces from our cities. Indian cities, with a strong identity created by rich and colourful overlays of culture through its evolution, have been threatened by this de-territorialization. This paper enquires the relationship of the symbol of the identity and religiosity of a place, through spatial form, rituals and activity, and accommodating the technology and the changing social structure within the bounds of that relationship. The subjects for this enquiry are Sufism and the Sufi city- Ajmer. The internal transformations in the ideologies of Islam & Sufism and the changes in the society surround it triggered the phenomena of de-territorialization. The need for establishing a symbiotic relationship between the spiritual content and the social life, through the manifestation of space, time and activity derived from this concern on abated territory of Sufism inside the city. Redirecting transformation catalyst such as tourism, technology, etc., towards the improvement of physical and social conditions, preservation of the heritage and the expansion of the notional idea of religion over the city will help to re- territorialize city as a Sufi city.

20 Types of Architecture thesis topics

An architectural thesis is perhaps the most confusing for a student because of the range of typologies of buildings that exist. It also seems intimidating to pick your site program and do all the groundwork on your own. While choosing an architectural thesis topic, it is best to pick something that aligns with your passion and interest as well as one that is feasible. Out of the large range of options, here are 20 architectural thesis topics .

1. Slum Redevelopment (Urban architecture)

Slums are one of the rising problems in cities where overcrowding is pertinent. To account for this problem would be one of great value to the city as well as the inhabitants of the slum. It provides them with better sanitation and well-being and satisfies their needs.

2. Maggie Center (Healthcare architecture)

This particular typology of buildings was coined by a cancer patient,  Margaret Keswick Jencks,   who believed that cancer-treatment centres’ environment could largely improve their health and wellbeing by better design. This led a large number of starchitects to participate and build renowned maggie centres.

3. Urban Sprawl Redesign (Urban design)

The widening of city boundaries to accommodate migrants and overcrowding of cities is very common as of late. To design for the constant urban sprawl would make the city life more convenient and efficient for all its users.

4. Redesigning Spaces Under Elevated Roads and Metros (Urban infrastructure)

A lot of space tends to become dead space under metros or elevated roads. To use these spaces more efficiently and engage them with the public would make it an exciting thesis topic.

5. Urban Parks (Urban landscape)

Urban parks are not only green hubs for the city, which promotes the well-being of the city on a larger level, but they also act as great places for the congregation and bring a community together.

6. Reusing Abandoned Buildings (Adaptive reuse)

All buildings after a point become outdated and old but, what about the current old and abandoned buildings? The best way to respond to these is not by demolishing them; given the amount of effort it takes to do so, but to enhance them by restoring and changing the building to current times.

7. Farming in Cities (Green urban spaces)

With climate change and population on the rise, there is statistical proof that one needs to start providing farming in cities as there is not sufficient fertile land to provide for all. Therefore, this makes a great thesis topic for students to explore.

8. Jails (Civil architecture)

To humanize the function of jails, to make it a place of change and rehabilitation, and break from the stereotypical way of looking at jails. A space that will help society look at prisoners as more than monsters that harm, and as fellow humans that are there to change for everyone’s betterment.

9. Police Academies (Civil architecture)

Academies that train people to be authoritative and protective require spaces for training mentally and physically; focussing on the complexity of the academy and focussing on the user to enhance their experience would work in everyone’s favour.

10. High Court (Civil architecture)

Courtrooms are more often than not looked at as spaces that people fear, given the longevity of court cases. It can be a strenuous space; therefore, understanding the user groups’ state of mind and the problems faced can be solved using good design. 

11. Disaster-resilient structures (Disaster-relief architecture)

Natural disasters are inevitable. Disaster-resilient structures are build suitably for the natural disasters of the region while also incorporating design into it, keeping in mind the climatic nature of the location.

12. Biophilic design (Nature-inspired architecture)

As humans, we have an innate love for nature, and the struggle between integrating nature and architecture is what biophilic design aims towards. To pick a topic where one would see minimal use of natural elements and incorporate biophilic design with it would be very beneficial.

13. Metro stations and Bus terminals (Transportation spaces)

Bus terminals and metro stations are highly functional spaces that often get crowded; and to account for the crowd and the problems that come with it, plus elevate the experience of waiting or moving, would contribute to making it a good thesis topic.

14. Airport design (Transportation spaces)

Airport designing is not very uncommon; however, it is a rather complex program to crack; thereby, choosing this topic provides you with the opportunity to make this space hassle-free and work out the most efficient way to make this conducive for all types of users.

15. Sports Complex (Community architecture)

If your passion lies in sports, this is a go-to option. Each sport is played differently, different materials are used, and the nature of the sport and its audience is rather complicated. However, to combine this and make it a cohesive environment for all kinds of users would make a good thesis topic.

16. Stadium (Community architecture)

Unlike a sports complex, one could also pick one sport and look at the finer details, create the setting, and experience for it; by designing it to curate a nice experience for the players, the public, and the management.

17. Waste-recycling center (Waste management)

Reducing waste is one of the most fundamental things we must do as humans. Spaces where recycling happens must be designed consciously. Just like any other space, it has been given importance over the years, and this would make a good thesis topic to provide the community with.

18. Crematorium (Public architecture)

Cremation of a loved one or anyone for that matter is always a rather painful process and a range of emotions is involved when it comes to this place. Keeping in mind the different types of people and emotions and making your thesis about this would mean to enhance this experience while still keeping the solemnity of it intact.

19. Museums (Community architecture)

Museums are spaces of learning, and the world has so much to offer that one could always come up with different typologies of museums and design according to the topic of one’s interest. Some of the examples would be cultural heritage, modern art, museum of senses, and many more.

20. Interpretation center (Community architecture)

An interpretation center is a type of museum located near a site of historical, cultural, or natural relevance that provides information about the place of interest through various mediums.
