UC BERKELEY’S SUMMER PROGRAMS REFRAME THE STUDIO FOR THE PANDEMIC AGE

UC Berkeley’s top-ranked College of Environmental Design is now accepting applications to its virtual summer programs incorporating architecture, architecture , town planning and concrete design, crafted for participants of all ages and backgrounds.

In the spring of 2020, the school was compelled to ask, “Can a program with studio at its core be taught during a virtual space?” Faculty and participants within the summer 2020 intensive courses answered with a powerful YES, and their work speaks for itself.

We hope you’ll join us in 2021 with questions of your own, and you, too, will have an impactful experience exploring answers with like-minded classmates from round the world.
