in Ontario and if you'd like to see more behind the scenes information or get more information
beyond the youtube videos then i would also check out my instagram page and also if you
would like to hear more from me in your inbox you can also sign up for the monthly newsletter
so on the newsletter i'll be sharing more tips checklists and information to you in your inbox on
a monthly basis so if you want to check that out and sign up for it i would check out my website
www.ashleyw.com and you can sign up for free now on this video we're going to be talking about
summer architecture programs for 2021 so perhaps you're applying to do architecture school in the
fall and you don't know where to start or you perhaps you have no information on what
architecture really is then a summer program could be a great opportunity to get more information
about architecture and also it's a great opportunity to build your portfolio so if
you don't know where to start then this could be a great opportunity for you
to you know get enrolled in one of these programs during the summer and get the
portfolio going and also get some more insight about the field of architecture and what possibly
you know what architecture school is going to be all about so if you're interested then let's get
started
we're gonna go through the nine summer programs that you can get enrolled this summer so
number one on the list and not in any particular order here but number one
sci-arc so sci-arc is offering a summer program this summer and you can get enrolled as well
now it starts from July 6 to July 30th and for this particular program it's all about making
and meaning so that's what the summer program is titled and applicants must submit the following
materials you need to have an online application form that you submit you also have to do a 30
non-refundable application fee and this is paid online or submitted by mail with a check or money
order made out to sci-arc and then there's also a 500 non-refundable commitment deposit
to reserve a place in the summer workshop if you log on to the website you can get more
information about the program itself and there is a bit of a tuition fee of two thousand dollars
250 dollars and there is an age requirement so students enrolling in the making and meaning
workshop must be 18 years or older now that could be a bit of a challenge because i know
when i finished high school i wasn't 18. so that could be a challenge for high school students who
are looking to getting more insight into the field of architecture and looking at architecture school
so that part is might be a challenge for you but there are other programs that you can enroll that
don't have an age restriction of 18 and older so i'll include down below a link to the program and
you can check it out and get more information about the summer program at sci-arc number
two imagine architecture by Carlton university in Ottawa Canada in Ontario and it starts in July 5th
to July 23rd and they have several courses that are happening and there's one lab 101 which is in
July 5th to July 9th and it's an emphasis on human scale multimedia drawing techniques architectural
conventions and some physical modelling as well and then there's lab 102 which starts July 12
to 16 where there's an emphasis on digital representation so that includes rhino 3D,
illustrator, photoshop, indesign there's a workshop on page layouts for portfolios as well
and there's also a lab 103 which starts July 19th to 23rd that has an emphasis on diagrams abstract
architectural thinking urban space and portfolio presentation workshop so if you want more
information about this particular summer program i would recommend checking out the link down below
for more information and of course in order to enroll you need to do an application number three
studio first by Carlton so this is another summer program by Carleton university in Ottawa Ontario
in Canada that you can take advantage of if you're interested and it starts in July 26 to august 26
and it's 2 900 Canadian plus HST and it could be paid or it needs to be paid in two installments
and there's a non-refundable application fee of 45 Canadian so they're promoting that participants
that are accepted into this graduate program and the following schools so that's something to take
note of also talk about who the program is for so if you're a four-year undergraduate degree
in any field but wonder whether architecture or design is a career that you want to pursue
then that could be a reason to take the course and i think all these summer courses are great
opportunities to get more insight about the field of architecture and it's a great way to build your
portfolio as well so if you want more information i would make sure to check out the link down below
and you can get more information about the program and see what it's all about as well
so they are continuing to review applications on a daily basis until the class is full so there
still seems to be an opportunity there to enroll so if you're interested i would make sure to
check it out number four IAAC is offering a summer global summer school of 2021 program and it starts
in July 5th to July 29 and there is a 90 euro application fee payment summer program offers four
online courses exploring the impact of noble tools in the definition of a new advanced architecture
at different scales this is the new GSS program which will celebrate the future
education dealing with challenges of the new world reshaping our cities architecture and technology
so they also talk about fabrication and they're known for digital fabrication as well like
from July 5th to the 8th there's a computational design online workshop and i could see these are
actually helpful even if you are in architecture and perhaps you know what architecture is about a
little bit or at least you know the basics but you're looking into broadening your experience
of your architecture program so perhaps you wanted to get into computational design or
digital fabrication and the current program where you're at doesn't offer that opportunity then
this could be a good opportunity to expand your education and do a summer program at a different
university online so this is a great opportunity for that so July 5th July 8th is the computational
design online workshop and then you have the urban analysis online workshop from July 12th
to the 5th and then you have design for robotics online workshop that sounds really great July 19th
to the 22nd which is all about fabrication through remote controlled robots and there's going to be
a syllabus coming out soon and also if you're into environmental design there's also an online
workshop for that as well and so if you click on the particular workshop that you are interested in
you can get into the specifics of it so here environmental design computational
modeling and simulations and i could see this being very practical even for the day-to-day
really taking advantage of computation and using that to do environmental analysis so that could be
shadow studies energy analysis and so on so there's a lot of potential in these courses
for even the real world once you do graduate from your program so here you'll see all the different
syllabus the learning objectives the faculty that are involved for each workshop and they give you
a breakdown that just gives you more information and they also outline what are the main tools that
you need for the workshop in terms of software plugins hardware so in terms of your computer
what are the minimum specs that you should have in order to complete the workshop successfully and
so on and so they also just have some footage from the workshops too and this is from the 2019
workshop so i would make sure to check out their website for more information about the program
if you are interested number five aaa online summer school now this is also another great
opportunity to take advantage over the summer if you can and it starts from July 12 to July 25th
and so if you log in onto the website and i'll include a link down below to the summer program
so here you have the aaa online summer school and they just tell you what it's all about and
you can get into the details of the different summer school units that they're offering so
reporting from venice site is a veil and they have all the different breakdowns
beauty and the beasts and they just talk about who's going to be involved in conducting
those units and you can go into the details a little bit further if you're interested
in attending and so there are you do need to do an application for this and they outline
the specifications for the application and the deadline keep in mind it is July 9th so
it's coming up pretty soon but uh you just have to complete the online application make a full
a full payment and register to the program and you do need to provide or you don't actually
you don't need to provide a cv or portfolio it's not required and so a lot of them do require this
but for aaa you do not need to provide this and so they also outline the eligibility requirements so
we they welcome anyone to join from ages 16 plus which is great because this is great
for also high school students because i wish i did take a summer school program
but i'm not sure if i would have been able to because some of these are a bit costly to attend
so i understand if you're not able to attend it and it's not a deal breaker but it really
does help you and especially for your portfolio it will give you an advantage and it also will
give you some insight before you start getting into the whole program and so on so this could
be a good icebreaker into the program and into doing the four-year bachelor program for example
um so here they outline the fees so it costs the summer school program costs about 560 euros
per participant and this includes a 60 arrow visiting school membership fee deposit which
is deducted from the total fee the deposit will reserve your place but the final fee is
required to participate and so um they also outline the locations of it but again
this year it's going to be online so it's going to be online so something to look into number six
architecture camp at the university of Ryerson so Ryerson university is offering
an architecture camp and this will be happening from July 26 to the 30th they have
several different sessions so you have session one which is July 26 to the 30th august 3rd to
the 6th august 9 to 13 august 16 to 20 and um all campers need to be from 9 to 13 years old
as of December 31st of 2021 so this is also a great course for those who are in high school
or not even when you're 13 you're not in high school i don't think so perhaps you're
in elementary school and you're looking and you're thinking about planning your future and you really
are interested in architecture and you want more information well this could be a great
summer camp and a summer school that you could attend and it's called architecture camp and the
registration opens June 21st and let's just click on that link so here you have the architecture
camp which is part of Ryerson's uni Ryerson university architectural science department
and so here you have the dates and the weekly fees so the five day weeks are 485 dollars
and the four day weeks are four forty dollars and the results registration of course opens June 21st
and we went through the ages and so if you want more information about the camp i would

and so if you're interested in these courses you can register and look into them a little
bit further in the link down below number eight introduction to architecture by Cornell
university so another program that looks great as well and the application deadline for this
one is approaching it's June 28 so you could apply now and it runs from July 12 to July
30th and so if you click on the link down below in the description box you can get more information
about this program so it's an introduction to architecture and it's a design studio

and also incoming mr students as well and this course costs 250 and so you can go into the
different courses and they have different class dates that you could attend to and the costs
associated for each one so i would make sure to check out the link down below for more information
number nine and this is the last one on the list is an introduction to architecture by Columbia
university also looks like an interesting summer program and it's running from July 6 to August 6.
and if you click on the link down below you can get more information about the program
and so here i'll share on my screen the program and so they have an overview admission
and the courses that are involved and so you can get an overview about the program
and it is an online format for this year and so it's going to be an architecture focus
and it's a five-week intensive summer program offering university credit to allow students to
explore contemporary processes of architectural design i would check out the link down below and
look into it as well and they also have an urban planning focus as well so check out the link down
below for more information for all the different architecture summer programs and again this is
a great opportunity to build your portfolio and also gain some insight in architecture so perhaps
you're an undergrad student or a master's student and you're getting into a master's program and
you need some help with your portfolio and so on this could be a good opportunity to help you get
into that mindset and to build that portfolio if you want more information and you're looking
at applying to do your architecture school and you're not sure what are the top universities
well i would check out this video here where i talk about the top three universities in Canada
and of course if you have value out of this video make sure to like the video and if you want to
