Design/Build Semester

A 16-week architecturally-focused design/build experience.

Students begin with an intensive in design, architecture, and drawing, collaboratively developing plans for a small, year-round structure. Once the design is approved by a client, the group transitions to the job site to build what they’ve envisioned.

The program weaves together lectures, studio work, seminars, and hands-on construction into a cohesive, multidisciplinary curriculum centered around a real-world project. The collaborative environment mirrors a professional studio or job site, offering students an authentic, real-world experience.

Students do not need to be current college students, and are NOT required to earn credits.
