SCHEDULE

Planned activities include several problem solving exercises, sketching, physical model building explorations, and interactions with faculty and professionals. We will begin at 9:00am each day, and conclude our scheduled activities by 8:00pm each day. Meals during the workshop (Tuesday dinner through Saturday breakfast) are provided. Students will walk from the University Commons dorm to the Donald W Reynolds School of Architecture Building, so be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes.

TUESDAY: Introductions and first design assignments

WEDNESDAY: Conceptual design challenge

THURSDAY: Architectural Engineering problem solving

FRIDAY: Digital modeling and teamwork challenge

SATURDAY: Project reviews, with parents in attendance

(A detailed schedule will be provided the day we begin!) Start each day ready to learn (pay attention!), and also accept that you may get a Discover Architecture homework assignment or two! It’s all part of the learning process.

Housing

We will be staying in the University Commons North dorm, which is on Hall of Fame Avenue at the intersection with Cleveland Avenue. There is plenty of parking to the west of the complex; but if you bring your car it must remain parked for the duration of the workshop. We can supply you with a parking pass for that lot. For the duration of the workshop you will live as if you are a real college student, which includes walking across campus frequently! Each room is double occupancy, and it is a lottery roommate assignment. Remember, you will only live with this person for four days, so try to make a friend and not an enemy! The bathroom is down the hall, as is common in the traditional style dorms.
