THE PROGRAM
Spend four weeks in Japan exploring traditional and contemporary design in 7 cities and earn 6 credits. Each city has been selected based on its distinctive architecture, history, culture, art, landscape and lifestyle. Students will stay in different types of accommodations, both traditional and contemporary, to gain a better understanding of Japanese lifestyles, which will help students to understand function and symbols of architectural space in Japan. There will be organized guest lectures and tours. Transportation will be primarily train and foot. Assignments will focus on having each student map his/her experience visually in order to help students to understand the experience of Japanese architecture from different perspectives.
