Curious about architecture & design? Want a broader understanding of the architectural profession? Ready for a deep dive into the design process? Want to work on your design skills? Developing work for your portfolio and your presentation skills? Well, then this is your studio.

Our architecture studio meets online every Saturday for 6 weeks. We’ll focus on developing using digital design tools. You’ll learn foundational architectural concepts and terms in the iterative design process, moving from concept to design. You’ll also meet with an architect or other design professional as your mentor once a week, scheduled to fit your availability. At the end of our studio, you’ll present your project, gaining even more supportive feedback and experience.

The AFSF Saturday Design Studio is open to high school students from any state or country, including rising 9th graders. No prerequisites are required – we welcome all levels of experience including no previous architecture studios. We are proud to be a diverse studio. We welcome students from throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond, including international students. Please be mindful of our studio schedule and the time zones – design is a collaborative process so participating in our live studio is essential.
