This course provides youth with unique perspectives required for a career in architecture. Youth examine architecture through the lenses of design, functionality, sustainability, and impact. They learn about the importance of universal design and the role architecture plays in shaping spaces for a wide array of human use. By understanding the significance of built environments, youth envision a world where new structures promote functional accessibility and environmental responsibility. Through considerations of sustainable communities, youth explore ways to contribute to a responsible future through architecture.
