In-Person at the Fulton County Library
9th–12th Grade
What is Design Next?
Presented by the Museum of Design Atlanta in partnership with the Peachtree Branch of the Fulton County Library System, Design Next is a free architecture program for students in grades 9-12. See the whole series.
In this session, we’ll explore what architecture is and how it shapes the places where we live, learn, work, and play. Students will discover the role of architects, examine different types of architecture, and learn how buildings move from an idea to a finished design. Through observation and discussion, students will begin thinking like architects while developing the vocabulary used to analyze buildings and spaces.
