Inter Cultural Studies of Architecture (ICSA) in Rome 2019
Intercultural Understanding, 2019, volume 9, pages 30-38 Inter Cultural Studies of Architecture (ICSA) in Rome 2019 A general exchange agreement between Mukogawa Women’s University (MWU) and Bahçeúehir㻌 University (BAU) was signed㻌 on December 8, 2008. According to this agreement, 11 Japanese second-year master’s degree students majoring in architecture visited Italy from February 19, 2019, to March 2, 2019. The purpose of “Intercultural Studies of Architecture (ICSA) in Rome” program is to gain a deeper understanding of western architecture and art. Italy is a country well known for its extensive cultural heritage and architecture. Many of the western world’s construction techniques are based, on Italy’s heritage and architecture. Therefore, Italy was selected as the most appropriate destination for this program. Based on Italy’s historic background, the students were able to investigate the structure, construction methods, spatial composition, architectural style, artistic desires based on social conditions, and design intentions of architects and artists for various buildings. This year’s program focused on “ancient Roman architecture and sculpture,” “early Christian architecture,” “Renaissance architecture, sculpture, and garden,” and “Baroque architecture and sculpture. ” Before the ICSA trip to Rome, the students attended seminars on studying historic places during their visit abroad and were asked to make a presentation about the stuff that they learned during these seminars. During their trip to Rome, the students had the opportunity to deepen their understanding of architecture and art, measure the height and span of architecture, and draw sketches and make presentations related to some sites that they have visited. A report describing the details of this program is given below.
