ARCH 477 - Architecture in Context


Prerequisites: Junior standing
Requirement Fulfillment: Architecture Elective
Through a variety of study and documentation techniques, students examine the architecture and urbanism of the Study Abroad setting as important cultural manifestations of a people and their history. Readings and lectures by University and local faculty provide historical or theoretical background for students’ on-site observations. The current practice of architecture will likewise be illuminated by visits with local practitioners and tours of their work. Through an appreciation of the range of issues, which can influence architectural and urban form in the study abroad setting, it is hoped that students will be able to reflect more objectively on their own culture, environment and creative processes.

3 credits
May be offered Fall, Spring as part of Study Abroad programs.
