STUDY ARCHITECTURE SUMMER 2006
Program Overview:
This program introduces
secondary students (9th through 12th grades) to the field of environmental
design through projects offered in architecture, landscape architecture, and
planning. In its 20th summer, the program serves to engage students in the
design process which is one of creative problem solving.
The program consists of three consecutive one-week
sessions, meeting 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, from Monday, June
12, to Friday, June 30. The course will be taught by the program director and
faculty specialists. The curriculum is organized by subject:
Monday and Tuesday sessions will focus on
information described in lectures, slides, readings, and field trips. Wednesday
and Thursday meetings will consist of studio sessions in which students work on
the assigned design problem. Each Friday there will be reviews of student work
with faculty and visiting professionals.
Objectives:
The program enhances the abilities of students in three major areas:
1. Environmental
Awareness: Demonstration of the interrelated effects of architecture, landscape
architecture, and urban planning helps the student identify and understand the
complex process of building, whether a house or a city. Students will then
understand how they can positively affect the environment at both individual and
civic scales.
2. Intellectual
Development: The program offers the experience of college-level design problems,
thereby developing intellectual skills in areas currently beyond the secondary
school curriculum.
3. Career Determination: The program exposes
the student to three design professions, describing the opportunities in
each area and expanding student awareness of career possibilities.
The facilities of the School of Architecture
include design studios, lecture rooms, and a computer lab including basic slide
collection and video tape equipment to discuss, present, and record work.
Administration:
Program tuition $700 including the cost of materials (which students will
keep).
The University of Miami does not grant any college credit for this course.
Students may want to explore other credit options with high school guidance
counselors. A certificate will be awarded to each student at the conclusion of
the program.
