Building Artists
July 13–24, 2009
Discover the Museum's great architecture through different artistic mediums. Learn about the building arts through creative movement, visual art, pop up architecture, and even puppetry! The session ends with multimedia show for families.
Worldly Builders
July 27-August 7, 2009
Take a trip without ever leaving D.C. to three regions from around the world to explore their structures and cultures. Special guest artists and architects, trips to embassies, and design educators will help inform these young designers in recreating and re-imagining the structures and traditions that make these regions great. The session culminates with a camper led "world tour" for families.
Young Designers
August 10-21, 2009
Create and curate an exhibition that explores the stories and architecture of D.C.'s historic buildings but also your new ideas about what represents a young people's capital city of the future. Celebrate your ideas through your very own "gallery opening".
