OVERVIEW
The Department of Architecture offers courses and programs designed for students and professionals who are not enrolled in a degree program.
THE HOUSE AS ARCHITECTURE
By examining a range of house styles (both modern and traditional), sizes, and costs, students gain an understanding of the architectural design process and how to work with a professional architect. Each quarter, students develop (or refine) a project that addresses their own needs and interests, based on ideas and information gained throughout the course. Individuals may start the series of courses any quarter.
Although some people have found the course helpful in assessing their interest in studing architecture, this program does not prepare participants to become architects.
This program is administered by UW Extension. Click here for more information on The House as Architecture.
