ARCHITECTURE AND GAMING ONLINE WORKSHOP
This summer the Department of Architecture and Design at the American University of Beirut is offering a 4-week program for anyone interested in exploring architecture whether as a career or simply a curiosity.
Cross the boundaries of real and imaginary in this one of a kind experience and explore design concepts that can help you navigate life, no matter what you do for a living! Learn from our world-class faculty in one of the best universities in the world and get immersed in a culture that is both challenging and rewarding.
We will be using videogaming as a launching pad and explore architecture, its histories, methods, and practice in online workshops where attendants will make a portfolio of three architectural projects. The program is for high school and college students or grads. Join us this summer and come out with your own portfolio, meet diverse students from around the world, and earn a certificate!
*No prior knowledge of architecture or gaming is required.
Online Open House for anyone interested in the program on Friday June 18th at 11:00 AM Beirut Time.

Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book.
Victor Hugo
The extension of the human sphere and the means of its determination go far beyond a build statement. Today everything becomes architecture. "Architecture" is just one of many means, is just one possibility.
