"The
summer I spent at Berkeley was a perfect beginning to my career and
academic pursuits in architecture. Not only was the program fun and
engaging,
but it was extremely motivating. My section teacher played a huge role
in motivating and inspiring me. His constant energy and positive
attitude were contagious in the studio and had a big impact on the level
of my work." [IN]ARCH | [IN]LAND | [IN]CITY NOTE: The 2012 Summer [IN]STITUTE application period is now closed.

CED Resources Summer [IN]STITUTE students will have access to CED's computer labs, fabrication shop, Environmental Design Library, and studio space, as well as scheduled CED events, exhibits, lectures, and symposiums. "[IN]LAND's
studio-based projects allowed me to address real-world design problems.
The guest lectures and studio visits exposed me to the breadth of the
field — from stormwater management to large-scale master planning. Best
of all, the studio projects are the foundation of my portfolio for
applying to graduate school." To Apply To be considered for the program, you must submit the following:
