The Architecture Immersion Studio is an introduction to the key ideas, techniques, and concepts in Architecture and Landscape. Open to students 18+, from current undergraduates to mid-career professionals, the course is suitable for anyone interested in a focused introduction to the discipline. Taught by faculty from Graduate Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Design, students will emerge with a command of essential skills and a small body of work suitable for use as the foundation for a graduate application portfolio.

The studio is organized around a four-part framework: four weeks, four design exercises, four New York-based site visits, and four architectural techniques. Each week introduces a new design prompt paired with a specific method of architectural production, while field-based sessions connect studio work to the city's architectural environments.

The studio culminates in a design exhibition and a carefully curated, individually developed portfolio that documents each student's work, preparing students for applications to graduate architecture programs.

• Students will develop an understanding of architectural design methodologies and representational media
• Students will demonstrate foundational skills in digital drawing and 3d modeling
• Students will gain familiarity with contemporary digital fabrication workflows
• Students will critically observe and interpret architecture and urban space through direct engagement with New York City
