The second International Summer School will take place in June on the theme of Architecture and Media.
The International Summer School will feature a series of live, virtual seminars and workshops exploring the relationship between architecture and media. We will explore how architecture as culture is mediated, communicated, disseminated, represented, experienced and consumed through the diverse media of filmmaking, podcasting and critical writing.
The Summer School seminars will welcome a wide national and international audience of general public, practitioners and professionals, with unlimited places.
The Summer School workshops are interactive, participatory sessions for creative practitioners, with limited places.
This event has now passed and registration is closed.
