Dive into an active learning environment at the Alden B. Dow Home and Studio where architecture acts as the lens through which other subject areas are explored such as history, drawing, CAD, interior design, writing, and the humanities. An exploration through the Home and Studio provides a foundation for keen observation, critical thinking and healthy debate. On-site activities or classroom assignments often include creative writing, visual art exercises, computer generated drawings, research projects, or even oral presentations.
