STUDIO PREFERENCES
You are required to enter your studio preferences (1-4) when you apply for the Exhibiting Architecture course. We aim to allocate students to their first-choice studio, sometimes however this is not always possible. If you aren't allocated your preferred studio it will be helpful to know that studio's run in the same palazzo building in Venice and studio leaders and students often join other studios for review panels and lectures. Students will be notified of their studio allocation in May 2020.
