Archifeed Summer 2026 WorkshopConceived as an alternative to conventional pre-college design courses, the workshops treat architecture as a cultural discipline rather than only a technical profession. Students are encouraged to develop imagination, observation, critical thinking and communication while learning how architectural ideas are shaped and presented. The program begins with architecture’s core mediums. Before designing buildings, participants learn to sketch, draw, make physical models, compose narratives, organise space and present ideas. Across each edition, they build a portfolio through exercises in conceptual zine making, freehand drawing, scale, floor plans, architectural representation and presentation techniques. Archifeed’s original Beirut workshop took place across four studio sessions in July at DW5, Bernard Khoury’s architectural office in the Quarantina district. By placing students inside a working architectural studio, the program created a direct link between education and professional practice. The Beirut edition also featured talks by Bernard Khoury, Serge Douaihy, Marine Zovighian and Roula Salamoun. Their practices introduced students to different approaches spanning architecture, interiors, craftsmanship, material research and emerging forms of design. In 2026, Archifeed launched its first international edition in partnership with the Coral Gables Museum in Miami. The four-session workshop adapted the program’s educational philosophy to a new cultural setting while maintaining its focus on drawing, physical making and critical engagement.
Students in Miami developed architectural portfolios and participated in a final public review and exhibition attended by parents, guests and architects. The program also included an architectural field trip and lectures by Juan Mullerat of PlusUrbia, University of Miami lecturer Indrit Alushani, and architects Carie Penabad and Adib Cure of Cure & Penabad. At a time when architectural education is increasingly shaped by digital tools and artificial intelligence, Archifeed places renewed emphasis on the hand, the eye and face-to-face discussion. Its workshops propose that architecture begins not with software, but with learning how to see, imagine and communicate. Certificates of completion were awarded to students who successfully finished the programs, recognising both their participation and the portfolios developed throughout the intensive sessions. Following its expansion to the United States, Archifeed is positioning the workshops as a broader educational initiative capable of connecting young people with architecture across different cultures, cities and ways of thinking.
