Overview
The Rice Architecture Summer Immersion program is offered in collaboration between the Rice Office of STEM Engagement (R-STEM) and Rice Architecture. The program is designed for Houston based current 10th and 11th grade students who are age 16 or older and have an interest in applying to architecture school. It is a hands-on workshop that introduces participants to principles of architecture and design. We will test design concepts through several media and exercises in two and three dimensions.
The goal is to explore architectural space at a variety of scales, and to produce creative works that can be integrated in a design portfolio, a necessary component in the college application process for architecture programs. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with Rice faculty and current students, as well as practicing architects, to learn more about architecture.
