Study Details: 13 - 17 July
The short course is an ideal introduction to the studio teaching model at the RCA and will give participants an opportunity to experience the environment and methodologies of the MA programmes in the School of Architecture. The short course aims to push participants to develop their skills, supporting them to develop their portfolio.
The summer school will take place in-person at the RCA Kensington campus, to enable participants to use the city as its testing ground. The programme provides an informal platform for discussing art and architecture and their agency.
Focused around design interventions, crossing disciplinary boundaries, students will work individually and in groups on different exercises during the week. The summer school fosters new encounters and international collaboration; each year we attract a global mix of participants from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds.
Projects are supported by course tutors and external contributors with a varied range of expertise. The 2026 summer school is convened by Lemonot – Sabrina Morreale and Lorenzo Perri, who have an architecture practice and are tutors on the Architecture MA programme.
The course is suitable for participants:
