(April 19, 2023) - The McEwen School of Architecture (MSoA) in Sudbury is proud to announce its first ever Archi·North Architecture Summer Camps.
Archi·North is a uniquely bilingual, tricultural, in-person architecture summer camp run by Canada’s newest architecture school at Laurentian University – selected top “15 Inspiring Architecture School Buildings from Around the World” by ArchDaily. Archi·North is open to high school students who are entering into Grades 11 and 12 in September 2023. Camps will be offered in two in-person sessions: July 17, 2023 – July 21, 2023 (English) and July 24, 2023 – July 28, 2023 (French).
With instruction from faculty and recent graduates, Archi·North offers an introductory experience in drafting and drawing, architectural design, physical model making, and digital software. Each week-long session will consist of a broad introduction into the architectural process and design thinking in an academic and design-oriented environment, and will end with an exhibition of the week’s work for viewing by family and the community.
As part of the first bilingual architecture school in Canada, Archi·North is dedicated to offer a pre-university experience that makes architectural education more accessible and more affordable to communities across Northern Ontario. The camps will also promote sustainable materials and technologies, with the MSoA facility being a prime example of mass-timber construction. Archi·North hopes to offer an unconventional summer camp experience that challenges participants to exercise new ways of seeing – and re-imagining – the world around them.
