By CONNOR NORRIS Boston Architectual College Summer Programs Why did you choose to participate in this program? I found a profound fascination with Architecture as a prospective career path. Selecting The Boston Architectural College's Pre-College Summer Academy program was a thoughtful decision for me, primarily driven by my acknowledgment of my limited experience in the field of architecture. How did you decide which program was right for you? The Summer Academy program presented itself as an ideal platform to immerse myself in the world of architecture without the extensive commitments of a full-fledged academic program. It provided a condensed yet comprehensive introduction to the key concepts, methodologies, and practical aspects of architecture. This structure allowed me to test the waters, so to speak, enabling me to gauge my interest and aptitude for the discipline before making a more substantial commitment. What was a typical day in your program? A typical day in the program was a dynamic mix of instruction, application, collaboration, and feedback. The mornings often commenced with engaging sessions where seasoned instructors would adeptly demonstrate various design techniques. These demonstrations spanned a spectrum of tools, encompassing both software-based applications and traditional drawing and modeling methods. This comprehensive approach ensured that participants gained proficiency in a diverse set of skills, reflecting the multi-faceted nature of contemporary architectural practice. Following these insightful demonstrations, the program encouraged active participation and practical application. Students, armed with newfound knowledge, were given the opportunity to implement the demonstrated design techniques. Whether it was navigating sophisticated design software or wielding traditional drafting tools, each participant had the chance to experiment and apply the principles they had just learned. What was the most memorable moment of your program? The hands-on projects, such as constructing a brick archway and designing stick bridges, were a standout feature of The Boston Architectural College's Pre-College Summer Academy program. These physical modeling exercises brought architectural concepts to life, offering a tangible understanding of structural principles and the collaborative nature of architecture. Crafting a brick archway allowed me to grasp the complexities of design and weight distribution, while designing stick bridges integrated engineering principles into creative problem-solving. Beyond technical skills, these projects fostered creativity, resilience, and a collaborative spirit among participants, enhancing the overall learning experience. What advice do you have for teens looking at programs? Embrace the advice to "have as much fun as you can" at Summer Academy—make the most of your experience by relishing your challenges as opportunities for problemsolving, and nurturing a curiosity that drives deeper exploration. I encourage students to identify specific interests within design and architecture that resonate with your passion and strengths. Determining what interests and motivates you during your time at Summer Academy will serve as a compass for your educational journey. 2024 TEENLIFE GUIDE TO SUMMER PROGRAMS | 43
