TWO-WEEK CAMP
$150 for non-members and $120 for members
Join us for a two-week architecture camp with Dr. Mahyar Hadighi (Texas Tech School of Architecture)! During this “Windows to El Paso” workshop, high school students will be introduced to the fundamentals of architectural design and will connect these concepts to the built history that surrounds them. Over the span of the sessions, participants will explore architecture through design thinking, historical research, and spatial storytelling.
In addition to walking tours of Downtown El Paso and visits to working architectural firms, students can expect to come away with basic concepts of spatial design, including how to define rooms and assemble simple algorithms to generate architectural forms. The workshop will culminate in a collaborative, three-dimensional exhibit inspired by the architectural and cultural character of El Paso.
Spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis
(Note: snacks are provided but participants should expect to bring their own lunch)
