Subject Overview: |
Travelling studios are working laboratories for design thought and production and involve the exploration of complex, real-life issues. They expose students to unfamiliar cultures, places and people and stimulate their ability to think creatively and problem solve. The Genoa studio will engage learning in more than one of the Faculty's disciplines, thus encouraging an interdisciplinary focus. In partnership with the University of Genoa, the travel component of the Genoa studio will run during the Semester 2 break. The studio aims to bring together students from architecture, urban design, landscape and planning streams and will use Genoa's dynamic waterfront to explore current issues in urban and landscape design. Pre-trip briefings or seminars will precede the travel component of the studio. The studio will incur travel costs, in addition to tuition fees. Faculty subsidies will, however, be available to each enrolled student. |
