In this Summer Institute for Teens studio, investigate architecture and its surroundings through hands-on model-making, technical drawing and creative problem-solving. You will consider buildings, spaces, and landscapes from a design perspective though intensive site analysis. You will become familiar with drafting tools and conventions and learn how to create plans, sections and architectural elevations as well as how to translate those drawings into scale-models. By the end of the program, you will have completed a site study and built a model for your portfolio.
