Description

NOMA Pittsburgh's Project Pipeline Summer Architecture Camp WHAT IS PROJECT PIPELINE? Project Pipeline is a national initiative established in 2006 by The National Organization of Minority Architects. Project Pipeline is hosted in eleven cities and has introduced the fundamentals of architecture to over one thousand students! Camp attendees are tasked to work both individually and collaboratively to address community focused issues through creativity and design innovation. Project Pipeline students are asked to think creatively about the spaces around them and investigate how they can best influence those spaces. Each day consists of various hands on activities and learning sessions designed to encourage students to synthesize and interpret new information as they design new places for the local community to engage with. By the end of camp, Pipeline students will have created the building blocks of a better city and designed a community that reflects their academic, cultural, and design interests! WHERE IS PROJECT PIPELINE? Project Pipeline will be hosted at Carnegie Mellon University in Oakland at the College of Fine Arts.
