    ARCH150: Discovering Architecture - Campus

    Dive into architectural design this summer with a hands-on introduction to the design process. This course offers an overview of key design fields like architectural practice, historic preservation, landscape architecture, and urban planning. Through a mix of lectures, media workshops, and in-studio project work, you'll experience life as a UMD architecture student while gaining valuable insights to guide your career decisions. You will learn essential design principles and representation techniques by developing your own ideas through studio projects. Over the course of three weeks, you will produce a collection of architectural drawings and physical models that showcase your ideas in a final design portfolio. The dynamic studio environment fosters growth, allowing you to collaborate with current architecture students and immerse yourself in the creative process.
