The School of Constructed Environments at Parsons offers a five-week summer program intended for current college students and college graduates of any age interested in investigating and preparing for a career in architecture or lighting design.This rigorous studio-based program initiates students in all aspects of architectural education including design, drawing, digital representation and computer skills, architectural analysis, and design history and theory. The program provides a comprehensive syllabus designed to prepare applicants for admission to professional degree programs (M. Arch or MFA in Lighting Design) at Parsons and other competitive graduate schools. Students work closely together and with the faculty, using New York City and its greater region as a context for understanding architecture’s role in the built environment and its relationship to sustainability and globalism.
