Architecture Admissions Cohort | A selective architecture portfolio development programme

The Architecture Admissions Cohort is designed for students in A’ and B’ Lyceum, IB and international curricula who are preparing for future applications to schools of architecture worldwide. Through a small-group studio environment, students develop the creative, analytical and design skills needed to build a strong foundation for their future portfolio.

Each cohort is intentionally limited to four students, allowing for individual feedback, meaningful discussions and a genuine architecture studio experience.

 

Programme details

• In-person studio in Athens

• Wednesdays, 18:00–21:00

• September 2026 – June 2027

• Maximum number of students: 4

 

Admission begins with an initial consultation to understand each student’s goals and determine the most suitable preparation pathway.

​

Individual Admissions Mentoring | Personalised guidance for architecture school applications

Individual mentoring provides tailored support for students who need a more personalised preparation pathway.

 

It is suitable for:

• students approaching architecture school application deadlines,

• IB and international students,

• students who need focused portfolio development,

• applicants preparing university strategies, statements and interviews.

 

Mentoring is available online and in person, depending on the student’s location and needs.

​

Each mentoring programme is designed individually, based on the student’s goals, timeline and target schools.

Learn from Architects with International Academic Experience

Studio for Future Architects was founded by architects Christina Papadimitriou and Marc Britz, who combine professional architectural practice, international academic experience and years of teaching to support the next generation of architects. Their work brings together architectural education, design, culture and critical thinking, helping students develop the creative confidence, intellectual independence and architectural understanding needed to thrive at leading schools of architecture worldwide.

​

Christina Papadimitriou

Christina is an architect and architectural educator with a background in archaeology, art history and architectural history and theory. She holds master's degrees from the Architectural Association (AA) in London and Princeton University, where she also taught architecture. She is the founder of AKA Architecture Kids Athens and has developed educational programmes that help young people build creative confidence and prepare for future studies in architecture. Her interdisciplinary approach, shaped by research, teaching and professional practice, continues to inform the way she teaches architecture today.

Marc Britz

Marc is an architect and architectural educator. He completed his undergraduate studies in architecture at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, before earning master's degrees from the Architectural Association (AA) in London and Princeton University. Alongside professional practice and university teaching, he has worked extensively with young designers, guiding students through design thinking, portfolio development and architectural education.

Start with a consultation

Every student has a different path towards architecture school.

​

Choosing the right preparation approach depends on many factors: the student’s age, interests, experience, goals and the schools they are considering.

Our consultation is the first step in understanding each student’s journey.

​

During the consultation, we discuss:

• the student’s interests and motivation for studying architecture,

• their current experience with design, drawing and creative projects,

• their preferred countries and schools,

• their timeline and preparation needs.

 

Following the consultation, we recommend the pathway that best supports the student’s goals:

• Architecture Admissions Cohort  for students who benefit from a structured studio environment and long-term portfolio development.

• Individual Admissions Mentoring for students who need personalised guidance, additional support or a more focused admissions strategy.

 

The goal is not simply to prepare an application, but to help each student take the right first step towards architecture school with clarity and confidence.
