Design It @ Fallingwater

An international architectural competition for environmentally friendly cabins on Bear Run Nature Reserve sets the stage for this new weeklong workshop for high school students. Offered in partnership with the Carnegie Museum of Art and Carnegie Mellon University's Architectural Explorations, 3 days are spent in Pittsburgh and 2 days (one overnight) are in Mill Run, PA.  Students design their own cottage and present and discuss their proposals to local architects and other students.
