The Landscape Architecture Program in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies is offering its annual Interdisciplinary Summer Education Abroad Program in Western Europe. Students and faculty on the 36-day program will explore the landscape, cities, construction, art and culture as we travel from Rome to Siena and Genoa, and on to Bern, and Basel. After a stop in Stuttgart, we move on to Frankfurt, Duisburg, and Hamburg, and end in Berlin. The program uses an interdisciplinary approach to studying how the built environment and culture may be interpreted in a broad cultural context. The program emphasizes landscape architecture, architecture, interior design and urban design studies.
In each city, students and faculty explore such design issues as the similarities and differences in physical design across places and centuries, the uses of a variety of building materials, climatic influences on design and use of public and private spaces, and the city as a cultural setting.
All curious participants are welcome. Undergraduate students with junior standing and graduate students may apply. This program is coordinated with Virginia Commonwealth University. Students from other universities are invited to participate. Contact us for more information.
