The Summer Studio in Classical Architecture introduces students pursuing careers in architecture and its allied fields to skills and resources essential to the practice of classical architectural design today.
Over four weeks, students build a foundation in classical architectural design through coursework in:
The curriculum is structured within a classical design studio and culminates in a design project for a new classical building. Studio work is complemented by on-site study of classical buildings throughout New York City and its environs. Visits to architectural offices provide the opportunity for students to engage directly with leading design firms.
Coursework is taught by architects and faculty active in the field of classical and traditional design practice and teaching. Upon successful completion of the program, students receive the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app's Certificate in Classical Architecture.The 2025 Summer Studio in Classical Architecture will take place June 16 - July 12 in New York City.

"A great program with instructors, staff, and students that care for beauty and bettering the world around them by teaching the basic tools and introducing resources for bettering understanding and practicing classical design."
"This is such a wonderful program. The lectures, studio time, and field studies were perfectly balanced, making every aspect of the program both interesting and rewarding. I particularly enjoyed the office visits, which allowed us to get a glimpse into the work environment - something we don't get much in school, and the field studies that took us to some of the most breathtaking sites in and around the city. I took away more than I could have ever expected from this studio, not only knowledge in classical architecture, but also long lasting connections and friendships with ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app staff, members, and fellow students."
"I loved everything about the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app. As a civil engineering student I was unsure of what I can do now to prepare myself for applying to grad school. The ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app summer program has given me clarity in understanding how to prepare for graduate school, and has equipped me with the artistic tools and perspective necessary to pursue this education and career."
