Four-week credit program
July 7 – Aug. 3, 2013
Offers three college elective credits
Building upon the first two weeks of instruction, the final two weeks provide a more in-depth exposure to specific architectural design issues through the intense exploration of one project. Students will deal with issues of program and community, as well as of human dimensions through continued model making and freehand drawing. Architectural concepts of order, circulation, light and structure will be investigated for their impact on a building’s form and function. Problems of site, place, and space, as well as social implications of architecture, will be analyzed and discussed. To further enhance the students' knowledge of the rich architectural history of Los Angeles, extended fieldtrips will be made to projects designed by great architects and designers, such as Frank Gehry, FAIA (B.Arch 1954); Thom Mayne, FAIA (B.Arch 1968); Frank Lloyd Wright, Rudolf Schindler, and Greene and Greene.

Due to the late schedule and the intense nature of this course, it is recommended that students choose the residential option for safety and to gain the most from the experience. The commuter option is available, but not recommended. Students who choose to commute will be on campus for two meals (lunch and dinner), and should plan accordingly.
