EVENTS
As a part of the program, students attend dozens of educational and cultural events throughout their time in the Bay Area. Educational events such as building tours, field trips, and case study site visits enhance a student’s understanding of what constitutes good architectural design. Through the “Great Architecture Great Experience” series students attend exhibitions, concerts, museums, and a baseball game that deepen their appreciation of art and life in the city. Each year students create Event Journals that capture their impressions. Scroll across the photos below to sample some favorite events with student’s own comments and images.
