INTRODUCTION TO ARCHITECTURE OVERSEAS
Having some of the most sustainable architecture anywhere, Rome is the perfect living laboratory to introduce young people to the built environment. Centuries of architecture, landscape architecture and urban design give an overview of how the design of buildings and places fits with a culture.
PROGRAM PURPOSE
Our purpose is to explore the built environment from a holistic perspective through site visits, seminars and hands-on experience with an architectural project in order to help young adults to make good decisions about future careers. A cost effective means of pre-college exposure to some of the world's greatest architecture and urban design, this program helps young adults understand their options. Graduates of this program have been accepted into top undergraduate architecture programs. Enrollment is limited to 12 students.
