The Architecture and Design Summer School at Oxford allows students to bring their design ideas to life at one of the richest artistic and architectural locations in the world. They will apply the core principles of architecture, including planning, design and spatial mapping, as they fast track their future to becoming a world-class architect. Students will also apply their learning in the “City of the Future” design challenge, where they will collaborate on a design team and propose and present architectural solutions for the urban city of 2050.

As part of the Summer School, students immerse themselves in the buildings, colleges, art collections and museums in Oxford, observing ‘case studies’ which illustrate the development of art and architecture in Europe between the Roman and Norman Conquests, to the architecture of the University in the 20th and 21st centuries. They will produce a range of architectural drawings and build their professional portfolio as they practice technical drawing and model construction in both manual and digital formats.
