WHAT IS YArch?

YArch is an architectural two-week workshop based on a full time program during the summer period. The name YArch stands for Young Architects. YArch’s aim is to visit a different city each year, with the ambition to study and propose architectural solutions according to the city itself. The workshop is open to architecture students, as well as students considering a career in architecture, and graduate architects. It can additionally offer a great approach to architecture for individuals who are interested in exploring an extended field of research. Furthermore, it is a great opportunity for lovers of architecture to create social and professional links.
