ARCH 3420 - Architectural Field Studies

(CU-ITL)

Fall. 2 credits. Student option grading.

Offered in Rome, Italy.

Staff.

Architectural Field Studies features approximately 18 days of customized, faculty-led field trips, both in the Roman region and throughout Italy. The course is based on the premise that the on site analysis of the material and spatial conditions of architecture and urban spaces is fundamental to the design process and to a toolbox of architectural ideas and concepts. Itineraries are carefully composed to expose students to important historical and contemporary sites and buildings that often serve as object lessons for themes studied in the design studio.
