Walking the City Summer School

This non-residential Summer School explores the world of footwear design and the city.

Developed in collaboration with Store Schools Project, this Summer School will introduce students to how trainers are made, sustainable footwear design, production, and their history. You will have the opportunity to design and make your very own trainer designed for the urban explorer, guided by some of the best architects and designers working in London. This course will introduce you to a wide range of architectural ideas and processes that you can expect to find on an undergraduate course at The Bartlett School of Architecture.

Over the course of the programme we demystify architecture and the built environment and show students how aspects of an architecture education connect countless other fields.
