Tools of the Trade: Teen Workshop

Is your teen interested in Architecture? This workshop is a great way for teens to learn the basic tools of architecture, such as going on site visits, sketching, design, and model-building.   Exposure to the growing field of architecture at this age can expand a teen's horizons to an exciting profession. DAC offers the workshop in the spring and fall with different themes. 

The theme of the workshop on May 31 will be about the transformative power of placemaking in architecture. Running parallel with DAC's current exhibition, My Ly Design: The Architecture of Art, students will learn how art can engage viewers with spaces that shape our communities.
