Each summer (next offering is May 2008), architecture students can travel to China for three weeks to study Chinese art, architecture, landscape, and urban design. The program features direct interaction with leading Chinese artists, architects, landscape, and urban designers and first-hand experience of Chinese art treasures, landmark Chinese natural and built environment. Students will be exposed to the social, economic, and political forces that shape the paradigm of Chinese art and built forms.
