Class Experience

Architects build models as 3D representations of the buildings they design in order to study their space and form.  This is part of the architecture design process, and maybe the most fun part!  

This hands-on building workshop teaches students techniques for making connections, folds, curves, cuts, supports and inserts so that they can create architectural models with real structure, solid connections and interesting forms.  I will introduce each technique one by one, building along with the students. Then students will be tasked with designing a house using some of the techniques they have just learned.  

Students should arrive at class ready to build with paper, cardstock, cardboard, scissors, glue gun or tacky glue, a ruler, and pencil. Grown-ups are welcome to help their student as long as they remain off-screen as per Outschool policy.   No prior experience necessary.  
My teaching style is very encouraging, especially to students' efforts in the process.

Hello Outschoolers!
My name is Heather Korb and I've been teaching Architecture, Urban Planning and Map-making on Outschool for over 4 years!  

I am a licensed architect in New York, I hold a Bachelor of Architecture from New York Institute of Technology, and a Master of Urban Planning from City College of New York.  I have been working in the architecture field for over 15 years, and I co-founded an international architecture collective called Akasa Collective to develop ideas about collaborative architecture, conceptual housing designs and map-making with kids. I have taught architecture courses at the university level as well as many classes in our homeschool community over the years.  

I offer Outschool classes related to architecture, map-making and urban planning to introduce kids to the exciting world of designing buildings, transforming cities, and building community.  

My lecture/discussion classes introduce kids to new design concepts and ideas, and include a broad geographical spectrum and equal representation of architects. Critical thinking, problem solving and spacial perception are important skills that designers must develop, but I also emphasize compassion and respect for all people and care for the environment.  Every person-kids too!- can have an impact in their community or even the world, often through good design.

In my classes, I give kids a safe space to express themselves.  In many of my classes we will be making things: creating our own maps, technical & artistic drawings, and paper models.  I strive to make each kid feel comfortable and empowered to share their work.  I always remind kids that everyone's design will be different and there is no wrong way, in fact, so many right ways!  I aim for the class to be an enjoyable challenge for each individual learner.

I homeschool my two sons, ages 14 and 10, and we love to travel near and far, using the world as our classroom.  You may find us hiking, sketching and making maps, often with friends in the forests, wetlands and beaches of Long Island- our home, or wandering around New York City, our second home.

Fun fact:  I designed and built (with my husband and kids) our own tiny house on wheels!
