Overview
What you will study
The embARC Summer Design Academy offered by University of California, Berkeley at UC Berkeley's College of Environmental Design (CED) brings together high school students from diverse backgrounds to explore architecture, urban design, and sustainable city planning through integrated components: an architecture + urban design studio, a sustainable city planning workshop, a digital design workshop, an environmental design conversation series, and a materials exploration workshop. No prior experience in environmental design is necessary.
Students develop their portfolio for their college applications in any area of environmental design — architecture, city planning, and landscape architecture. Classes include ample studio time, one-on-one critiques, and “live” gallery showcases. Students also go on field trips and design and build a project for a local non-profit organization.
