Architectural Association Summer School 2011
Stories from the City
27 June–15 July

The three-week, full time AA Summer Architecture School presents a challenging programme of design studios, field study, seminars and lectures that emphasise the importance of both practice and theory in contemporary architecture. Based on the AA’s unit system, it offers participants a selection of varying design approaches, agendas and techniques, and represents a uniquely intensive and intimate environment that aims to expand formal and intellectual resources.

Based in London, each of the school’s units creatively uses the city’s surroundings as its focus of research. Tutors, lecturers and critics include past and present AA unit masters as well as professionals pooled from disciplines as diverse as fashion, art, graphics, industrial design, urbanism and film. This year will also present a unique opportunity to take part in the first ever summer public programme, titled Format, at the AA which will include lectures by designers, architects, artists, and others.

The course is for students considering a career in architecture, new or current architectural students from around the world as well as individuals contemplating a change of careers or interested in exploring architecture and the city. The Summer Architecture School offers an exciting approach to architectural design for anyone interested in exploring architecture as a profession or as an extended field of research. It also offers an opportunity for prospective students who would like to experience the AA environment.

The course is aimed at all over-18, undergraduate architectural students who would like to experience the AA environment and/or those who are considering a change of school; and newcomers to architecture, both recent school leavers and those considering a career change.

The deadline for applications is 6 June. A late deadline of 20 June is also in effect, but this will incur a £50 surcharge.
