COMING AUGUST 2nd-4th
ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN JUSTICE CAMP 2022
WHAT IS PROJECT PIPeLINE?
EDucation to ACTIoN
Our mission is to empower young people to affect change in their community through design. Using the city as the classroom and connecting young people to real-world architects and planners, we foster the next generation of design professionals, civic leaders, and changemakers. We advocate for increased inclusiveness, diversity, fellowship, equity, and excellence in design.
project based activity
The camp guides students through all stages of design using thought provoking and fun exercises that keep them engaged. The design project encourages them to take into consideration broader cultural, social, and historical implications. Students investigate through drawing and model building, analyze through diagramming, and engage through site visits.
Students that participate in the camps work closely with architects and designers to create the designs they would like to see in their communities. Not only do students create designs, but they are also connected with mentors in the architecture field to help guide their interests. For many students, Project Pipeline is their first introduction to the design world. By the program’s conclusion, students present a fully realized design project that advocates for change and addresses an issue in their city.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE
Middle school and high school students in the St. Louis area (both Illinois and Missouri residents). The camp is open to students of all backgrounds, but is geared towards providing students of color with the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of architecture and design.
