Architecture – New!
Tiny Houses: Low Impact, High Design
Saturday, February 2nd // 10am – 4pm

In this workshop, students will touch on the fundamentals of architecture (design thinking, drawing, and model-making) and design their own Tiny House – a micro-dwelling only 400 square feet or less. Students will choose a natural environment for their Tiny House and will learn how to create low-impact architecture through design strategies that address their chosen environment.
