CURRICULUM
IMMERSION
Architecture and design live and breathe in both the classroom and the
world. DID is dedicated to exposing students to these realms through a
series of lectures given by esteemed Los Angeles-based designers and
field trips exploring the city of Los Angeles. In the classroom and in the
city, students are introduced to fundamental ways of seeing, thinking,
and doing that are essential for anyone interested in pursuing a degree
and/or career in architecture or design.
VISUALIZATION
Design is doing and thinking. DID’s Visual Studies program emphasizes
the doing by introducing students to a range of basic skills essential to
exploring, discovering, and describing design work. The coursework
covers freehand sketching, computer drawing, physical model making,
and computer-based 3D modeling. Students are introduced to processes
and workflows that allow them to move freely between physical and
virtual realms.
DESIGN
DID’s Design Lab exercises help students explore the things they are
encouraged to “see” in the world. It is also an approach to the creative
process and a design education. In Design Lab, students create projects
that they discuss with SCI-Arc faculty in a process of one-on-one feedback.
Students also present their work to juries of faculty and peers in a process
of discussion-based group feedback, preparing them for the design school
environment.
PORTFOLIO
For anyone interested in any field of design or creative production, a
portfolio is essential. Every student applying to architecture or design
school is required to submit one. The culmination of the DID program
is a one-day comprehensive portfolio workshop, which is designed to
introduce beginning design students to the concepts, techniques, and
strategies necessary to complete a successful design portfolio. After DID,
students have gone on to universities such as UCLA, Cooper Union, RISD,
Pratt and SCI-Arc.

ABOUT DESIGN IMMERSION DAYS Design fills our world and
permeates our everyday existence. Small objects, media, furniture, buildings,
the city: nearly everything we use, live in, and touch has been designed. Who
designs these things? How do they do it? How do they see the world around
them and change it? SCI-Arc has developed Design Immersion Days (DID) to
introduce high school students to these issues in a brief but broad curriculum.
Rising Juniors and Seniors will be offered the opportunity to explore careers in
architecture and design or simply satisfy deep curiosities about how products, buildings, and environments are designed and made. This is done by working side by side with other students and those who have devoted their lives to re-
shaping the world around us.
