Mission statement:

We are members of two factions of architectural endeavor: Columbia University 's undergraduate architecture program and the Columbia Architecture Society. While the program commits its students to developing technical skills and critical understanding of design, history, and theory, the Society is a loosely structured group that focuses on social and intellectual gatherings in the hopes of increasing students' awareness of architecture. Columbia Tectonic strives to intermediate between these two modes of thought, by using the understanding we gain through the program to analyze the diverse environments that we encounter.

Columbia Tectonic provides a forum where students can reflect both on the generalities and particularities of architecture, and on Columbia University 's program itself. As the architects of tomorrow, we hope to shed some insight on what we really think about the developing world. Within this newsletter lie both the way we enjoy architecture outside of the classroom, and the way we learn to think about it inside.
