July 2025

The Architectural Exploration Program (AEP) at College of Architecture & Environmental Design at Â鶹ÊÓƵ is developed to introduce college level design education for high school students. The intensive two-week program will take place on the Kent campus in July 2025 and offers rigorous individual instruction by CAED faculty. The explorations developed during the summer provide individual students with high quality design projects.

The focus of the program is the Design Studio experience that challenges high school education and responds to creativity investigation into studio culture for passion in design discipline. The program constructs confidence and imaginative aspirations that transform each student’s understanding of the built environment. During the two-week course the student will learn to draw and model their ideas through the intellectual process of making.

The studio will take field trips to some of the best museums and historic sites in the city and explore the dynamic art and design scenes of Cleveland and Akron including award-winning architecture firms, Cleveland Art Museum, Contemporary Art Museum of Cleveland, and the Akron Art Museum.
