IF YOU ARE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT WHOSE PASSION IS TO DESIGN AND MAKE THINGS, we have the summer program for you!

July 10-16 2022:

Application Deadline: May 15, 2022

Norwich University's Architecture Summer Design Academy 2022 will be a 1-week immersive, in person experience, teaching students the essentials of design thinking and architectural composition. Over the week, students will design a small building, using drawings and models to communicate how it would be experienced and how it could be built. All materials will be provided.

Each day students will explore their project through the application of a different modeling technique and architectural concept. Morning sessions will be devoted to learning drawing and modeling tools, beginning with technical demonstrations by instructors, followed by labs in small studio teams. Afternoon sessions will begin with lectures by Norwich Architecture professors, followed by individual project work time, 1-on-1 desk critiques with instructors and will end with daily 'pin-up' presentations to the class. At the end of the course, students will have a portfolio of work they will display and present at a public virtual exhibit attended by parents, professors and local architects.

Activities
