Alsace Summer School of Architecture & Crafts

The Alsace Summer School of Architecture & Crafts (ASSAC) 2026 takes place in Westhoffen, Alsace, France, during July and early August 2026. Participants will explore traditional architecture, drawing, and crafts through a rich combination of site visits, theoretical courses (history, construction, geometry, etc.), hands-on workshops, and a design project. The programme is dedicated to the study of the architecture, urbanism, and crafts of one of France’s most culturally and artisanally rich regions, where traditional practices are still alive today.
The program is led by a team of professors, architects, craftsmen, and historians, offering students a unique opportunity to learn from experts while studying the region’s built heritage directly. Courses are conducted in English and include field trips to villages, craft workshops, a lime factory, and quarries, as well as practical exercises in measured drawing and building techniques.
