COURTESY MCEWEN SCHOOL OF ARCHITECTURE — Grade 11 and 12 high school students have been drafting, drawing and making building models as a part of a summer camp hosted by Laurentian University’s McEwen School of Architecture in Sudbury, Ont.
“We’re acutely aware of the lack of knowledge of architecture as a potential career path,” in Sudbury and northern Ontario, says Louis-Pierre Bélec, co-ordinator of ArchiNorth and assistant professor at MSOA. On the first day of summer camp participants are asked to reflect on the built environment of their own communities, to think about what they think is lacking, what they would like to change, Bélec says.Over the five days they are exposed to fundamentals, including drafting and model-making. While participants get an introduction to rendering software, most of their work is done with physical tools and paper.
Participants collaborate on designs and through small teams where they make three projects or “small installations.Those projects are part of an exhibition for families and the community at the end of the camp, says Bélec. Bélec says the registration fee of $350 for the first session is the lowest of any architecture camp in Ontario. Camps are taught in English or French.
