Project:

Studio:DETROIT-HS is an integrated architectural exploration education program designed for highly motivated high school students who have been traditionally under-represented in the field of architecture. It is a unique opportunity for interested Detroit area high school juniors and seniors to learn about and explore the possibilities of a career as an architect as well as be matched early in their exploration to mentors in the field. The curriculum takes a practical, hands-on approach to the study of architecture through the integration of studio work, educational field trips, seminars and lectures. The core elements are a design studio, professional, academic and architectural tours and the establishment of a mentor program. We have helped graduates of the ptrorgam to secure architectural internships at the Detroit architectural firms of Hamilton-Anderson and Haygood Architects. We hope to expand this opportunity to several offices as the program matures.
