Crafting an Institution for Free Education: A San Diego Case Study

​Based in the 2024 closing and general contexts of Woodbury School of Architecture in San Diego, participants will explore how different funding models can be utilized to support and grow a new institution (launching as the Center for Collaborative Design) with the goal of it ultimately offering a free (or almost free) architecture degree.

​Requirements: Participants are asked to research non-profit (academic & otherwise) institutional funding models that could be applied to supporting architecture education. Please read the background of this session in the workshop resources folder in the library.

​This event will be facilitated by Megan Groth and Jose Parral.
