Adventures in Architecture
Over the course of three-to-six sessions, Adventures in Architectures introduces students to historic and culturally significant sites in a historic neighborhood. The workshops examine the question: What makes a community? We take students on guided explorations, facilitate activities that connect students to local history, and build an understanding of preservation. Learn more about Adventures in Architecture. »
