The PROJECT PIPELINE CAMP is a process driven architecture camp for students to work individually and collaboratively in order to address community-focused issues through creativity and design innovation. By the end of the camp, Pipeline students will have created the new building blocks of a better city, and have designed a community that reflects their academic, cultural and design interests!
