Application
“The Institute was an invaluable experience for me as a student. I love how individualized the projects and attention are; it allows one to make significant progress in a short period of time. I now feel prepared to go into my year abroad at Columbia and do some really great work. I would recommend it to anyone interested in studying architecture!” – Julia McConnell, Mount Holyoke College, Summer 2015
