Architecture School is a program dedicated to ‘education through architecture,’ integrating various fields intersecting with architecture such as humanities, engineering, and fine arts. Since its inception in 2012, the school has consistently created project-based architectural education aimed at broadening the understanding of living environments and enhancing comprehensive thinking. In collaboration with a diverse array of partners including K12 Architecture School, Arts Council Korea, and LG Arts Center, it provides specialized classes tailored to different age groups. Through this program, children can develop the skills to interpret their daily lives and think independently, while adolescents and adults can gain insights that lead to better living environments, rooted in a deep understanding of architecture and urban spaces.
