Explore sustainable urbanism, housing and social justice, then complete a research project and formal submission that can lead to a regulated award from a UK awarding body.
Quintus Scholars’ Architecture & Sustainable Design programme is a two-week summer school focused on architectural theory, spatial design and sustainable urbanism. It is built around how architects think and argue, rather than around drawing alone, so students explore how design decisions shape movement, behaviour and the built environment.
The course combines lectures, studio critique, model-making and urban site analysis, with a strong emphasis on reasoning, presentation and critique.
Across the programme, students examine the history of architectural ideas, spatial design principles, structural systems, materials, sustainable architecture, urban planning and housing, digital design, and architecture’s relationship with social justice. Teaching is structured around real briefs and live discussion, so participants develop a design rationale and learn to defend their ideas clearly.
Students complete a research project throughout the two weeks and finish with a formal submission that can lead to a regulated award from a UK government regulated awarding body. The course is designed for ages 13 to 18 and is suitable for students who want an intellectually demanding introduction to architecture, urbanism and design thinking.
