Downcity designers

In DownCity Designers: Design Studio, students will work together to design a new structure to improve a public space like a park, school, or playground in Providence. We will learn about the design process while exploring our chosen community service project site and figuring out what we can create to improve it. Learn basic architectural techniques like drawing and making small-scale models in order to develop your design ideas, and gain an introduction to 3D modeling design software.
