DESIGN IN THE CITY OF LIGHT
France and the city of Paris offer a richly layered framework from which to engage questions critical to design explorations. The country and city are a compendium of many centuries of endeavors to construct the built environment around a constantly changing context. With many cultural resources, France and Paris represent a unique classroom in which to be immersed. As a living classroom, the country and city have the capacity to change the preconceptions of space making practices and expand the notion of human experience both urban and rural contexts.
The Schools of Architecture, Interior Design, and the College of Art and Design are pleased to announce the Fall Semester Paris Program. During Fall 2019, we will offer a semester long, 12 credit hour design curriculum. The coursework will enable students to engage in the built environment of France and Paris, testing observations through design work.
The CoAD Paris Program will supply students with a rigorous academic environment that combines field studies, studio design work, and seminars with Beyond Paris: active learning field excursions into surrounding regions. Students will also have the option to expand their travel in Europe during 3-day weekends.
