As an integral part of a fine arts school, Architecture at RISD emphasizes process, artistic sensibilities and social and ethical responsibility. Students hone the ability to think and communicate through drawing, making, writing and discussing ideas with others as they define and articulate a personal approach to the discipline.

In order to ease workflow and reduce the use of paper, content from the student handbook has been uploaded to the BEB Student Resource site. The site includes the building and studio policies, information on advising and other helpful resources.
