Course overview

An intense and immersive design experience at the Royal College of Art School of Architecture.

The School of Architecture Summer School offers a challenging and engaging programme of design studio experience, visits, lectures and skills training.

This five-day short course is ideal preparation for Master’s study and will give participants an opportunity to experience the environment and methodologies of architectural design studies at the Royal College of Art while preparing material that can contribute to a design portfolio. Focused around a spatial design project, students will work individually and in groups on design proposals.

The course brings together theoretical reflection and production, pushing participants to develop their skills and to generate conceptual and physical products of the highest standard for their portfolio.

The Summer School is an immersive experience, supported by expert staff with opportunities for individual work and collaborative projects. Projects are supported by Royal College of Art staff and external contributors with a varied range of expertise, including  guest speakers who will share their practice and ideas.

Based at our Kensington campus, visits to a variety of architectural sites around London will enable the studio to use the city as its testing ground.

More information about external guest speakers will be confirmed in 2019.
