Workshops at the Center for Architecture

The Center for Architecture can host a limited number of fee based, 2-hour hands-on workshops during the school year. Workshops are designed to introduce students to architectural vocabulary, model building skills, and design thinking concepts.

If your school is interested in inquiring about workshop availability, email Breanna Katsman at bkatsman@centerforarchitecture.org.

Bring the Center for Architecture to Your School

The Center for Architecture can partner with your school to lead a Learning By Design:NY residency program. Programs can be customized to enrich and extend existing classroom studies and address core subject standards. All residencies consist of a series of 90-minute classroom workshops. Activities include hands-on art and design projects, scale model building, engineering challenges, and neighborhood walks.
