Does your writing need a workout? Join us online for our renowned two-week Summer Intensive, aimed at those who would like to refine their skills as thinkers, reporters and storytellers.

For practicing designers, this is a chance to examine the profession and its impact through writing and publishing. Clear thinking, deep research and engaging expression are vital skills in a contemporary designer’s toolkit. For non-designers, this program offers methods and insights for understanding and writing compellingly about images, objects and spaces.

A range of writing genres and imaginative approaches will be introduced in seven workshops spread over two weeks. Working individually and in small groups, participants will experiment with essential techniques such as interviewing, archive research, close observation, analysis and critique.

By the end of the program, participants will have completed several pieces of writing, formulated ideas for stories, and garnered a robust set of tools and approaches for writing authoritatively and imaginatively about design.

Priority application deadline: April 1, 2023 / Program dates: June 5–16, 2023 / Tuition: 1800 USD. Apply hereSubscribe to our email list to keep up to date with our offerings.
