SUMMER INTENSIVE STUDIES NEW YORK architectural design: digital and physical model making college/adult session I (June 1–19) PNNY 2205 Section A Today’s architect must have experience with digital and physical making as well as the language to work between both spaces. Digital modeling has evolved to become more than just another design tool. It is a device for enabling innovative project development. While there is a new focus on digital technology, physical model making also continues to be a crucial component of design. It has become increasingly reliant on a hybrid of hand fabrication and digital outputting, often combining processes to mimic the construction process. This course is designed to help students develop these model-making skills. It offers students a collaborative environment in which they can work together constructing architectural models.

You will meet founders of successful, young, brands that have established a strong position within the luxury market. You will learn about the trajectory each one of these entrepreneurs took and will have the opportunity to ask questions and understand first-hand about the pitfalls and opportunities that lead to their success. Back in the classroom you will work on your own business brand (real or imaginary) integrating what you’ve learned in the field with feedback from your professor and fellow students. Daily sessions will be a mix of collaborative think-tank, workshop, seminar, and guest lectures with time to work on your own brand.

Conducted in a workshop style, you will undertake a range of practical exercises to get you thinking about the luxury sector and
its application to business; this will be supplemented by guest lectures and excursions. We will be taking trips to luxury stores, not the obvious Bond Street hangouts, which will help you to reconsider your definition of luxury. You will also develop an understanding of how London has interpreted the concept of luxury. Due to intensive nature of the course, time for trips during class time will be limited so you will also receive a list of optional places to visit outside class time to further your understanding of the luxury market. Who should take this course: entrepreneurs who are about to enter the design industry as professionals or who are already a part of the market and want to increase their understanding of the luxury sector. Ideally, attendees will have a concrete business idea so that they can work on its branding, developing it for the luxury market.

program details (continued) richness of a culturally diverse student body. Language Students who are not native English speakers must score a minimum of 79 on the Internet-based TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or 6.5 on the IELTS (International English Language Testing System). For more information about the TOEFL, visit www.toefl.org. Information regarding the IELTS can be found at www.ielts.org. Students must provide documentation of English proficiency as a substitute for the TOEFL or IELTS.

A link to the online International Student Application Packet will be sent to students in their course confirmation letter. This packet includes information about applying for the I-20 or DS-2019 from The New School, which is required before you apply for the appropriate visa from the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. Because the approval process for student visas can be lengthy, students should submit their I-20 (F-1) or DS-2019 (J-1) applications to ISS by April 1 for Summer Intensive Studies (SIS) Session I and by April 15 for Summer Intensive Studies (SIS) Session II and Summer Studies in Constructed Environments (SSCE). In order to meet these deadlines, international students must register by March 15, 2015, for SIS Session I and by April 1, 2015, for SIS Session II and SSCE.

the family educational rights and privacy act of 1974 The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, with which The New School complies, was enacted to protect the privacy of education records, to establish the right of students to inspect and review their education records, and to provide guidelines for correction of inaccurate or misleading statements. The New School has established the following student information as public or directory information, which may be disclosed by the institution at its discretion: student name; major field of study; dates of attendance; full- or part-time enrollment status; year level; degrees and awards received, including dean’s list; the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended; addresses, phone numbers, photographs, and email addresses; and date and place of birth. Students may request that The New School withhold release of their directory information by notifying the Registrar’s Office in writing. This notification must be renewed annually at the start of each fall semester. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records. These rights include the following: 1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. A student should submit to the registrar, dean, head of the academic department, or other appropriate official, a written request that identifies the record(s) the student wishes to inspect. The University official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records are not maintained by the University official to whom the request was submitted, that official shall advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student’s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the University to amend a record should write the University official responsible for the record, clearly identify the part of the record the student wants changed, and specify why it should be changed. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested, the University will notify the student in writing of the decision and the student’s right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. 3. The right to provide written consent before the University discloses personally identifiable information from the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The University discloses education records without a student’s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted as its agent to provide a service instead of using University employees or officials (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the University. 4. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the University to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is the following: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue SW Washington, DC 20202–4605 the new school Parsons is part of The New School, a leading university in New York City offering degree, certificate, and continuing education programs in art and design, liberal arts and social sciences, management and urban policy, and the performing arts.
