Program title: Urban Design International Program

Erasmus subject code: 02.0

Duration: 1 semester (usually Spring Semester)

Program description: Cracow Faculty of Architecture through its International Program offers an opportunity to study Architecture and Urban Design within the inspiring context of a European City. The full time semester program, has been tailored to suit students in Architecture at 3rd to 5th year level who wish to broaden their experience studying abroad for one semester. The International Program has its 15 year tradition. Its major components have been the Socrates/Erasmus Program and an exchange with the University of Tennessee, United States, from where each year a group of 15-20 students come to spend the Spring Semester in Cracow. Over the last few years the program has been enlarged to accommodate students from various European centers, like Turin (Italy), Weimar (Bauhaus), Dresden, Munster, Coburg, Hildesheim, Frankfurt (Germany), Vaasa (Finland), Manchester (United Kingdom) and others, who come to Cracow as a part of the Socrates Exchange program, and recently also from other universities in the United States. The main program component is Design Studio, of 15 hours a week, focusing on new architecture sited within historic urban context. The project breaks up into three clearly defined stages: Urban Analysis, Urban Design and Architectural Design. The Design Studio is supported by subjects in Theory and History of Architecture, Theory of Urban Design, Drawing, Painting, and Sculpture where students can explore issues relevant to their design assignment. Trips through Europe and Poland provide an opportunity to experience first hand the best of heritage and contemporary architecture of the region. Organized nine day study trip to European centers include: Vienna, Prague, Venice, Florence, Padua, Berlin, etc. A six day trip through Poland explores historic towns, castles, palaces, cathedrals, monasteries and other heritage structures and landscapes. (Study trips are extra paid). In their free time students are encouraged to visit other places of professional interest both in Poland and the broader region.
