What to Expect in an Architecture Programme
Immerse Education’s Residential Architecture summer schools provide a unique opportunity to explore both the academic and professional aspects of architecture. The ‘Academic Insights’ Pathway focuses on architectural history, design theory, and current trends in architectural research. Meanwhile, the ‘Career Insights’ pathway emphasizes practical architectural skills, such as drafting, model making, and studio projects. You’ll hone your creativity and problem solving skills, becoming a seasoned innovator as well as a capable spatial thinker with technical drawing abilities.
Both pathways allow participants to gain a deep understanding of architectural concepts and the practical skills needed to excel in the profession.
