How to Build a Haunted House (and Other Strange Structures)

This class is for architects of the weird wanting to hone their craft and construct a memorable place of living like the Overlook Hotel or the witch’s gingerbread house in Hansel and Gretel. First, we’ll study classic and contemporary examples of haunted houses and speculative structures; then, students will have the opportunity to apply what they’ve learned through in-class exercises and writing prompts. Students will leave this class with draft blueprints for the weirdest building, spaceship, or structure they can imagine.
