STUDIO FIRST is an online five-week summer studio in architectural design for students from a wide range of backgrounds who are considering graduate studies in architecture, urban design, or landscape architecture.

The main goal of the program is for participants to generate competitive portfolio material appropriate for application to a three-year Master of Architecture accredited degree program, or related design program.

Who is STUDIO FIRST for?

1. Those who have a four-year undergraduate degree in any field, but wonder whether architecture and design are possible career paths.

2. Students already in architecture, environmental design, conservation, or urban design, who are applying to graduate programs to gain a professional degree. You may need to improve your portfolio or augment your design studies.

3. Anybody who wishes to improve their visual literacy and fluency in graphic expression. You might be interested in fashion design, landscape, interiors, film, even computer interface design.
