Instruction consists of basic building design projects plus lectures on fundamental concepts of structure, architectural theory and history. All classes are taught by college-level faculty. Students also go on field trips to job sites, architects' offices, and buildings of special interest, including one out-of-town trip to the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, and Charles Moore's house and studio in Austin.
