Description

What if K–12 students, architects, and residents worked on the same projects, at the same table? This course explores what becomes possible when architecture stops being linear and starts being shared, bringing youth, professionals, and communities into real projects that influence design decisions, public space, and neighborhood outcomes. Exploring how My Architecture Workshops (MAW)  applies a proven, repeatable model that integrates education, professional practice, and public work. The session draws from MAW’s embedded ecosystem of project work, including resident-led park reimagining, neighborhood planning efforts addressing housing and transportation, and the design of public facilities. These initiatives are supported by a continuum of learning that includes MAW’s K–8 architecture program, high school design-build studios, and paid undergraduate and graduate internships providing AXP credit, grounding participation in both education and licensed practice. Projects span multiple scales, from hydroponic greenhouses addressing food insecurity to citywide planning shaping land use, mobility, and neighborhood investment. MAW also convenes professional CE-credit workshops that connect this work directly to the responsibilities of architectural practice. Across this model, participants move from exposure to participation, from participation to construction and leadership. The result is a systems-level approach that reshapes how architectural education, practice, and public work interact over time.
