Program Introduction

This program offers architecture students a focused academic experience designed to explore how architectural concepts translate into real-world built environments. Participants engage in structured learning that emphasizes design thinking, spatial understanding, and the relationship between architecture, context, and function.

The program is built to provide meaningful exposure to architectural practice through observation, discussion, and applied design exploration, while maintaining flexibility aligned with realistic academic and site-based availability during the summer period.


Architectural Focus Areas Offered
