The purpose of the traveling programs at the School of Architecture and Design is to develop design studio work combined with a critical understanding of architectural history, case study, and comparative analysis through a direct and full immersive examination of the overall complexity of the places visited and their built forms. It is a way to learn principles of urbanism and architecture by visiting and studying significant urban environments and their canonical examples of architecture from early history to the present. By examining and comparing the cities and their work, the intention is to develop a means to evaluate both those works and to become more critical of one’s own design.

Throughout the program, students and faculty meet with practicing architects, students and professors of architecture, and urban planners of several academic and professional environments across the countries and cities visited. Students are then exposed to different cultures and ways of operating but also pushed to think past their limits and open their minds to new discoveries about themselves.
