THE SUMMER SCHOOL ENABLES PARTICIPANTS TO DEVELOP THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF TRADITIONAL ARCHITECTURE, DESIGN, BUILDING AND REPAIR TECHNIQUES AND HOW THESE CAN BE APPLIED IN THE 21ST CENTURY.

Week one of the programme begins in London where you will take part in drawing classes, geometry and structure exercises as well as architectural tours and the study of architectural development and history. In week two, at Dumfries House Estate, you will work together with expert craft teams to learn craft and conservation skills in the fields of timber, thatching, stonemasonry, lime plastering and pargeting. The programme ends with a week-long design workshop, where you will form groups and create a design proposal for a live project, involving public consultations, design modelling and technical drawing. A panel of stakeholders will choose the winning design, which will be built by participants on one of our building craft training programmes.

LOCATION: The Prince’s Foundation headquarters, Dumfries House, Scotland.

The scholarships will cover all tuition and accommodation fees for the programme (worth £3,750), which runs from the 10^th to the 30^th of July 2022. Travel to and from the Summer School is not covered.

QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED: There are no entry requirements for this course and anyone is welcome to apply.
