Why?

Our brief is to design a Mars Habitat Unit. Participants will gain an understanding for creating healthy living systems using digital technology and minimal resource. Lessons and insights learned will be valuable for future participation in problem solving within more local 21st C design challenges. All course content will be grounded within the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as set out by the  UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Charter.

Who?

Although the A^3 programme focuses primarily on individuals considering a career in architecture, those looking into other options within creative industries will also be very welcome to apply.

This opportunity is for ambitious AS & A level students, tertiary education students and those interested in starting a career in architecture.  Participants must have an interest in design, drawing and making, as well as having a basic level of skill with digital drawing tools. Access to a laptop computer will be required and  Sketchup should be installed ahead of the programme.

The programme is offered free of charge.
