Rice University School of Architecture is pleased to announce LAUNCH, a new summer program in architectural design.

LAUNCH offers students in any field the opportunity to design the future and learn about architecture in an immersive, exciting atmosphere of hands-on speculation and experimentation.  Formatted as a four-week design studio - fueled by discussions, lectures and field trips with faculty from the Rice School of Architecture - students will design architectural projects that respond to issues and sites in the city of Houston.

The summer 2011 session of LAUNCH begins Monday, June 6, 2011 and ends Friday, July 1, 2011.

Application Deadline: Friday, May 6, 2011.
