Hello Dr. Architect I have a young brother-in-law who's grandfather is a
very succesful architect and his father is a man who can build a house
without any electrical or plumbing or gas in 24 hours.This young man
shows interest and skill with building and architecture. I was wondering
how I might focus his first grade level study's and peak his interest
in architecture at such a young age.Or at what age I could start and
where I might do this. Is there any museum's or programs focused on
architecture? How young do any programs start? What are the basic
requirements of first starting a real study focus on Architecture?

Attached is a list of mostly high school summer programs throughout the
country for summer 2012. Beyond institutions, there are a number of
non-profits that have programs - museums, etc. You may try visiting the
following:
National Building Museum
www.nbm.org
Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio
http://gowright.org/home-and- studio.html
Salvadori Center
http://www.salvadori.org/kids
archikids
http://www.archikids.org/
archkidecture
http://www.archkidecture.org/
Other than websites that may have resources, have him begin to draw -- drawing/sketching is probably the most useful skill of an architect along with creativity.
Another book to consider is Becoming an Architect, 2nd ed.
Best!
