The trend in educational policy now is this: the accessibility of education is inversely proportional to the desire to learn. Universities are closed like street stalls, and state universities are skimping on budget places. But if you abstract from the treasured crust and tune in to the wave of active knowledge, then you can still learn. Moreover, learn with interest and at your own pace - without fitting into the Procrustean bed of schedules, strict deadlines and endless financial costs. So, here is a digest of alternative ways to learn more about architecture, improve your skills, and even get a specialty.

All about architecture and architects
The architecturecourses.org portal was created by a group of Canadian designers and architects who decided to help students with accessible educational materials. Over time, the project grew into a serious system of training courses. They are popular among both established professionals and amateurs.
There is a lot of information on design and architecture collected here. You can delve into the history of architecture and understand the variety of styles, learn to distinguish the subtleties of national architectures, or delve into professional terminology. The Design section features two core courses: elements and principles of design. As a useful bonus, there is a detailed guide for aspiring architects, which reveals the pros and cons of the profession and gives advice on choosing internships. In the “links” section, architecture textbooks are available for free download, albeit in an inconvenient txt format.
For whom:
designed for students, but will be interesting for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge
Fine:
For free
High-quality illustrative material
The site is well structured
Badly:
Mainly textual information, which is occasionally diluted with illustrations. Not enough multimedia
Open education at Moscow Architectural Institute
MARCHI open educational courses have been available to a wide audience since 2009. All programs are divided into three groups according to the criterion of three-stage education: there are courses for applicants, for students and for teachers who improve their qualifications. A certificate is not issued upon completion of the course, but nothing is required from the student. Having selected the course of interest, the student goes to the lectures section, which are available in pdf format. Lectures are accompanied by lists of additional literature, as well as tasks for self-study. The topics of the courses are very specific, no general “architectures in human life.” Particularly interesting are programs devoted to the study of legal issues: intellectual property in architecture, urban planning code.
For whom:
popular with applicants, but will also be interesting for professionals
Fine:
All courses are in Russian
For free
Popular topics
Additional materials
Badly:
No feedback. Many assignments for lectures involve working on an abstract, which, alas, no one can check

Lectures from Yale and beyond
The portal academicearth.org is developing with the slogan “Watch, learn, share, discuss.” This is a great example of accessible, quality education that activates consciousness and sparks debate. Here are video courses covering almost all scientific fields. Lectures are given by professors from the best universities in the world. Architecture is worthily represented by Yale University with a series of lectures on Roman architecture. The architecture section also includes a series of four lectures “God, Caesar and Robin Hood: How the Middle Ages were built.”
For whom:
for anyone who speaks English
Fine:
For free
Convenient search
There are thematic playlists of lectures
Badly:
There are only 2 courses offered in architecture
4
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
Architectural Workshop
The institute offers a variety of distance learning programs, including several courses in architecture and design fundamentals. Particularly interesting is the course Building in Landscapes, which is devoted to the problem of combining natural landscapes with architectural objects. Video recordings from lectures are posted on the course page, and notes with illustrations are attached to them.
For whom:
The annotations for the courses indicate the expected level of training of the student (student or graduate student). But in reality, anyone can delve into the intricacies of architecture
Fine:
Large selection of programs
The course of lectures can be downloaded in one fell swoop in the archive, or you can watch it online
Badly:
The quality of the video is “YouTube”, but it leaves much to be desired. Layouts that explain the material sometimes fade into a blur due to unclear images
Course in English
University of the Arts LondonSaintMartins
Architectural Drawing Course
You don't have to go to London to master the basics of drawing. The original course, developed by an Icelandic architect, combines online seminars and home self-study. The study lasts two months, and live sessions - these same seminars - take place once a week. Architectural knowledge is acquired in mini-groups of 8-12 people: not a single student will be left unattended. To communicate with the teacher, receive a portion of theoretical information from him, and also discuss your homework, just turn on the webcam. And real geographical distances, which in the case of classical education often block a student’s path to his dream, are not a hindrance here, in an online course. Classes begin on October 17, but there are many applicants, and applications must be submitted in advance.
For whom:
People over 18 years of age who are interested in architecture are invited to attend classes. No special education required.
Fine:
Dialogue with the teacher
Combination of practice and theory
Badly:
Seminars and assignments are in English, so to participate in the program you will need an IETELS certificate with a score of at least 5 in speaking and writing
The pleasure is not the cheapest. For two months of intensive training you will have to pay 425 pounds, that is, approximately 22 thousand rubles
When forming groups, the level of students' preparation is not taken into account. Thus, an inquisitive beginner can be a burden to a more savvy student

March to MARCH!
The Moscow School of Architecture offers master's programs with a diploma from the University of London, but the cost of such training is prohibitive for most. But in the summer, MARCH oversees a non-profit project: a round “School” pavilion opens in Muzeon, where meetings with architects are held. This summer, Cornell University students even came and participated in the discussion “The Neighborhood: A View from New York.” According to announcements, the school is open from May 23 to September 20, but for some reason the lecture schedule has not been updated since June.
For whom:
for connoisseurs of quality social spaces and interesting discussions
Fine:
For free
The pavilion is located in the center of city life
Badly:
The MARCH summer school operates rather in an entertaining format
In addition to free lectures in the pavilion in the summer, MARCH enrolls students in special courses (this summer there was a course “Architecture of Light”), but for such pleasure you will have to pay 40 thousand rubles

Exploring urban spaces in Strelka
The Strelka Institute of Media, Architecture and Design also has a free summer school, but what is more interesting here is the nine-month program that integrates the cycle of humanities: economics, sociology, politics, architecture and culture. The study of these disciplines, according to the organizers, helps to invent the future. Here they study social spaces, address the problems of urbanism and do research work.
For whom:
for people 25-35 years old with a higher education in the field of architecture, media or design, fluent in English (IETELS certificate with a score of at least 6.5 is required). The main criterion: the desire to change the world
Fine:
Free, and even a monthly stipend of 980 euros
Rich curriculum combining practice and theory
Badly:
It's hard to get in

VSSD at MARCHI: changing career guidance
The Higher School of Environmental Design has been operating since 1999. Upon admission, you do not need to pass exams: you need a desire to immerse yourself in the profession and material wealth (each thematic module will cost 33 thousand rubles). Applicants to the School can choose short-term courses (4-8 months) or become a student of a full-fledged two-year program. It all depends on how many topics the student is ready to master. If he decides to become a multidisciplinary designer and chooses the full two years, then after defending his diploma project (by the way, the topic is chosen by the student himself), he will receive an accredited diploma from the Higher School of Art and Design of the Moscow Architectural Institute, which is valued by employers and opens the door to the world of design freelance.
For whom:
The majority of students are people with non-core education. Lawyers, doctors, ballerinas come to VSSD, but there are also architects
Fine:
Students can model the curriculum themselves, choosing thematic modules that interest them
Flexible schedule. You can study at the VSSD both in the morning (from 10 to 13) and in the evening (from 18 to 21). Classes are held 2-3 times a week
Twice a year the School organizes festivals at which the works of not only VSSD students are presented, but also students of other universities and colleges, as well as professional architects
VSSD cooperates with several European universities, so program participants can go on an internship abroad
Atmosphere. Classes are held within the walls of the Moscow Architectural Institute. The space is inspiring. The walls here are flooded with soft sunlight, and the attic windows overlook old Moscow
Badly:
Training is expensive
It is difficult for students to work with specialized programs (AutoCAD, Photoshop, etc.). You will have to learn how to manage them in parallel with the main course.

Head of the Center for Pre-University Training, Additional Education of Children and Adults FDO MITU-MASI - Lukashova Maria Mikhailovna
The Faculty of Further Education is always open to cooperation in various areas. We take a flexible approach to cooperation and development and are ready to listen to your suggestions! We are also ready to discuss the possibility of developing a program or opening a group on existing programs at the request of the organization (including using distance learning).
WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS!
Sincerely, the staff of the Faculty of Further Education
The Moscow Architectural Institute (State Academy) - MARKHI has a 250-year history and is the leading architectural school in Russia. Currently, about 1,400 undergraduate and graduate students are studying at MARCHI. Among them are residents of Russia, CIS countries, Europe, Asia, North and South America.
At the moment, MARCHI is objectively the best university in the country that produces architects. The vast majority of architects practicing in Moscow went through MARKHI. And if an applicant has firmly decided to connect his life with this profession, then this is definitely the place for him.
The passing grade for applicants to the Moscow Architectural Institute is determined by the sum of the results for four exams: Russian language, mathematics, drawing and drawing. In 2012, for example, the passing score was 316. In the “Design of Architectural Environment” direction, instead of a drawing exam, analytical drawing and planar color composition are taken.
It is quite obvious that school preparation is not enough to pass the Unified State Exam with a high score and enter such a prestigious university. Preparation courses for admission to the Moscow Architectural Institute prepare applicants according to a special program compiled by Unified State Examination experts. Preparatory courses for higher education at the Unified State Examination Center provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively pass state testing upon admission to Moscow Architectural Institute.
