Program & Location
Vicenza, Italy
During the month of June, students will be introduced to Italian culture through the study of architecture, landscape architecture, and city planning. Both the formal ideals as well as the constructed reality of these three subjects will be studied through critical observation and documentation of universal conditions and critical junctures. Exploratory field trips by rail and bus of the Venetan region will extend from Verona in the west to Treviso in the east and the Venetian lagoon north into the pre-Alps.
Length of Program: Summer, five weeks
Eligibility: Graduate & Undergraduate Students
Number of Credits: 6
