More students this summer got the chance to try out architecture, in a four-day, intensive design workshop.

Flautists went to band camp, editors went to yearbook camp, and some architects, at least, went to design camp. Making that third scenario more of a reality are several young-architect summer programs, including Summer of Discovery at University of Houston’s Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture, Discover Architecture at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and Career Discovery at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design.

This summer, the new design-camp kid on the block was Project Pipeline, courtesy of the Louisiana Chapter of the National Organization of Minority Architects (NOMA LA) and the Tulane School of Architecture, in New Orleans, which hosted the camp. More than 25 high school students from New Orleans attended, Bustler reports, “most of whom had never met an architect.”
