UAF Architecture & Design CollectiveShape the Space. Build the Future.
Designed by students, for students. Connect with fellow high school artists taking their first steps toward architecture and design through sketching, physical model making, 3D digital design, and portfolio development.
Art with structure, function and purpose
Architecture is more than drawing buildings. It is the art of shaping the spaces we live in. In the club we mix freehand art with architectural thinking, so your creativity has a plan behind it.
Think in 3D
Turn flat sketches and floor plans into physical models and digital 3D designs.
Read the world
See how buildings from different cultures and eras respond to history, climate and the people who use them.
Use real tools
Practice sketching, blueprints and floor plans, then build digital models in SketchUp.
What you will get from the club
A portfolio for college
Finish the year with real design projects, drawings and models you can show on university applications.
Learn by making
Every month ends in a hands-on project, from a Cube Series and a castle to a Sacred Spaces design and an original 3D model.
From ancient to modern
Study Egyptian, Roman, Pueblo, Islamic, medieval, modern and postmodern architecture to inspire your own ideas.
Field trips and guests
Visit real buildings and museums, and meet people who work in the architecture firm.
Your year at a glance
Nine months, three seasons. Each month has its own theme, weekly sessions, slides, hands on projects, and videos on the schedule page.
Foundations and Sacred Spaces
Start with the ancient world, then study Pueblo, Islamic and medieval buildings. Learn sketching and floor plans and begin your Sacred Spaces design.
History, Modern Design and 3D
Finish your sanctuary models, build a castle, then move into modern and postmodern design and start your Reimagining Space project in SketchUp.
Cities, Interiors and Portfolio
Explore sustainable design, urban planning and interiors, create an original 3D design, and combine your work into a digital exhibition.
