UCLA Architecture and Urban Design is pleased to present our 2017 Summer offerings that continue to engage students in rigorous and innovative design. Programs provide unique opportunities for college students and high school students to explore architecture and design with cutting-edge designers and practitioners, to learn and use the most dynamic software, work with fellow colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds, and to experience summer in Los Angeles on the UCLA campus.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The UCLA Department of Architecture and Urban Design offers a four-week program exploring architectural education for individuals contemplating careers in architecture, design, and related fields. The program carries 6 quarter units of UC credit respectively. The program is structured around the experience of a design studio typically offered within the curricula of graduate programs. Intensive design exercises using the latest computer aided techniques in 3D modeling lead to complex and sophisticated architectural projects that ultimately conform a robust basis for applications to graduate programs.
STUDIO WORK
-Focused on developing design skills using contemporary processes of production.
-Projects enhance the relationship between building and human scales, deeply rooted in a current social and cultural environment.
-Develop digital modeling and drawing skills subsequently deployed in design projects.
-Learn the latest techniques on digital design.
-Engage in demonstrations using digital and analog techniques.
-Participate in group and one-on-one instruction led by architects and designers.
-Participate in group reviews and critiques and present your projects to guest designers, critics, and instructors.
-Gain access to UCLA’s Arts and Architecture Library.
