RISD Introduction to Architecture

Fall Semester—Open to Grades 9–12

Lincoln students have the opportunity to enroll in Introduction to Architecture, a 12-week intensive course offered by RISD’s School of Architecture. Through engaging lectures, hands-on studio time and formal design critiques, students will immerse themselves in the architectural design process exploring the many ways in which architects understand and organize space and how they envision, plan, design and redesign structures for real-world applications. The students will build their technical skills in architectural drafting and model building while also being exposed to the iterative process that is at the core of the architecture design studio model. All of this learning will be framed by an emphasis on how women have played an integral role in the history of architecture and how women architects have the power to shape the future of design on a local, national and global level.

Introduction to Architecture is a credit-bearing, Pass/Fail course that will be included on students’ Lincoln transcripts.

Students interested in enrolling in the course will submit applications in May in advance of the Fall Semester.

Application information can be found at lincolnschool.org/courseforms.

Brown Introduction to Engineering

Spring Semester—Open to Grades 10–12

Lincoln Students will have the opportunity to enroll in Brown University’s Introduction to Engineering course. Lincoln School is committed to supporting the growth and development of women in the STEAM fields. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Architecture, and Mathematics) This 12-week course will focus on the engineering design process. Common to all types of engineering, the design process takes an initial problem and formulates a solution, using theoretical concepts and modeling/building tools in tandem. Scientific concepts covered include static equilibrium and mechanics of
