PROJECT LINK

1. WHAT IS PROJECT LINK?

PROJECT LINK is an intensive four week program that seeks to immerse rising high school sophomores, juniors and seniors into the world of design.  Students will be exposed to drawing, modeling and representation techniques associated with architectural design as well as to the alternate design perspectives of landscape architecture, graphic, industrial and fine arts design.  PROJECT LINK strives to foster design skills and put students on track for exploring these ideas at the collegiate level.  By exposing students to the possibilities of design, PROJECT LINK hopes to instill a passion for design in local communities.

2. WHO IS PROJECT LINK?

PROJECT LINK has been created, planned and initiated by graduate students in the fields of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning at Harvard's Graduate School of Design.  It is a student run and university funded opportunity to extending an inspiring hand into Boston communities to help provide design opportunities to underprivileged and talented high school students.

3. WHO CAN APPLY TO PROJECT LINK?

4. WHAT TYPE OF PROJECTS DO STUDENTS GET TO WORK ON?

Students will get the chance to particpate of multiple projects in multiple fields of creative practice that range from small to large scale thinking.  For an extensive layout of the type of work within each week please look through our curriculum pages here on our website, or click here to link directly to them.
