2017 Summer Program is Underway
We are three weeks into this year's summer program and our students have been busy drawing, making models, discussing and building on foundations of work for their introduction to an architectural education. The course began with a material and spatial transformation of a common utilitarian object, the umbrella; now as students begin their final projects, they have an uncommon chance to break through to architectural thought.
