This program is ideal for architecture majors or minors or areas such as liberal arts, urban planning, or art history who have not yet taken an architecture studio.

Academic Program:

The summer Architecture program includes two required courses. Art, Architecture, and Design in Contemporary Barcelona uses the city and its contents as a classroom. This content will complement the Foundations Architecture Studio by providing students with the cultural/historical background they will need for developing a Barcelona-based project will be developed. Both components of the program will therefore complement each other.
