Norwich University's Architecture Summer Design Academy will be a 1-week immersive, in person course, 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 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:
Seminars
Sketching & Drafting
Model Building
Guest Lecturers
Workshops
Field Trips

Students will gain a broader view of the field, develop skills and portfolio materials and be advised on the college application and portfolio-building processes.

The A+A Summer Design Academy is open to students who will be high school sophomores, juniors and seniors in the Fall of 2025.

The cost per student for this week-long program is $1,500, which includes meals, lodging and required materials during the camp. A $300 deposit is required to complete registration.

No experience necessary, just come with a desire to learn and a curiosity about architecture:
