Pre-College Instructor, Introduction to Architectural Design and Theory (On-Campus), Summer 2025

Columbia University’s Pre-College Programs for High School Students is seeking qualified candidates to develop and teach on-campus courses during Summer ’25. Reporting to the Senior Director of Instruction and Curriculum for Pre-College Programs, Pre-College Instructors develop and deliver immersive non-credit courses for high-achieving high school students. They guide and supervise students when classes are in session, and write a holistic evaluation of each course participant after classes conclude. For more information on the program–including course sessions and times–please see here.Course Description

This intensive course introduces architectural design processes and key concepts in architectural history and theory. Through making and critiques, participants will learn to use architectural drawing techniques and modeling, to develop and communicate design ideas by completing studio-based exercises. Students will also be introduced to significant design work, interrogate important readings, and grapple with relevant discussions in architecture, all with a New York City lens. Coursework will be enhanced by real world exposure to the field, which may include architectural tours, site visits, and experiences with practitioners.

By the end of the course, students will look at buildings with a new perspective, have a better understanding of architectural pathways and futures within the discipline, and leave with a design project that can form the basis of a portfolio.Course Schedules
