2024 Summer Programs in Asia
Three Cities Architecture Studio in Asia
In this 9-credit studio and seminar, students will live in 3 dense and vibrant Asian cities Tokyo, Seoul and Busan. Through visiting prominent urban attractions, as well as experiencing typical daily life, students will construct urban observations through two lenses: the macro (through literature and lectures on data and facts, policies and codes, etc.) and the micro (through their own eyes). Students will choose an urban issue – such as food, housing, transportation, or hydrology – and build a comparable narrative form of their focused research within the three cities. (9 credits; ARC 407/408//608/609 and ARC 500)
Introduction to past and present of the built environment in South Korea. Through participatory projects with students from partner universities, analytical sketches of the local environments and experiential observations, students will share perspectives of global phenomena found in built-and natural environment. (3 credits, DES 300/500)
