Our AAVS Dubai 2.0 outcomes will be exhibited at the Visiting School exhibition in the Graduate Gallery this Friday evening at 6.30pm! Join us! AA VISITING SCHOOL Graduate Gallery 2/5/2015 - 6/6/2015 Exhibitions are open Monday to Friday 10:00–19:00, Saturday 10:00–15:00. Launched in Dubai in early 2008, the AA Visiting School (AAVS) has grown into a network of more than 50 annual courses scattered across the globe, from Buenos Aires to London, New York to Hong Kong and onto the Amazon Rainforest and Atacama Desert. Encompassing five continents and countless cultures, AAVS courses take participants on unimaginable journeys to engage with many of the world’s most pressing architectural, technological, cultural, urban and social issues. AAVS is concerned with architectural education in its widest possible conception and offers four kinds of courses: a Semester Programme for visiting students to study alongside AA students in the Undergraduate School; the Summer School, Night School and other short courses organised at the AA in Bedford Square and in Hooke Park; Little Architect, which introduces an awareness of architecture and cities to schoolchildren across London; and an array of Global Schools abroad. Courses are modelled on the AA’s famed unit system with individual agendas relating to the particular geographic and cultural conditions of each setting. AAVS programmes offer participants the rare opportunity to engage with local forms of expertise and provide the unique kind of globalised learning experience apropos to architectural education in the twenty-first century. #aa #architecturalassociation #london #uk #aavs #aavsdubai
