Designed for advanced architecture students in professional B.Arch or M.Arch degree programs, students enroll in a 6-credit design studio and a 3-credit survey field studies course. The program begins in Florence at Syracuse University's fully-equipped Donatello Studios, then moves to London where the SU Faraday House becomes the base for studio work, lectures, and field trips to Amsterdam and continental Europe. The program returns to Florence for completion of final projects.
