Greece United Kingdom
When the god of sea and the goddess of wisdom competed for patronage of the great city, Poseidon, striking his trident to the ground, offered water. Athena planted an olive tree, becoming the patron deity of Athens, the starting point of our program. Through several field trips to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the program will take students from Athens to the oracle of Delphi and the monasteries of Mystras to the olive groves of the Peloponnese and the kingdom of the Myceneans. Traveling the same lands with the American and Greek writers (in translation) we will be reading, students will write about the complex identity of a country suspended between a rich past and a complex present in a land where the gods still speak.

Great universities live alongside haunted graveyards, faerie mounds, and sea monsters. In Search of Scotland will explore the complex, contradictory culture, history, and life north of Hadrian’s Wall. Students will write reviews, travelogues, and feature articles, coming away with a deep understanding of Scotland, and vastly improved writing skills. Set primarily in Edinburgh, one of Europe’s most beautiful (and haunted) cities, In Search of Scotland provides intensive writing instruction coupled with field trips, ghost walks, and a three day tour of the Highlands, including the Isle of Skye, Loch Ness, and the haunted fields of Culloden.

We begin the program in a beautiful château situated on a sandy beach overlooking the Mediterranean—a landscape that inspired the Impressionists. There will be field trips to Le Cannet, Nice and Vence—focusing on the works of Matisse, Bonnard and Picasso. We then move to Paris where we will have access to its rich store of painting, sculpture and architecture, visiting museums such as the Louvre, Centre Pompidou, Musée Picasso and Musée d’Orsay; drawing from works in the museums will be combined with work in the studio and around the city. Students will work on paper with drawing materials and acrylic paints.

We will also delve into the old world of wooden temples, the serenity of the bamboo forest and enjoy other moments of austerity in and around Kyoto. Prepare to immerse yourself in the wealth of culture that Japan has to offer through multiple, conceptually linked projects focusing on the fundamental choices designers make in translating concepts into effective graphic form through a design process that is rooted in research and initial concepts to project prototypes. There will be generous amounts of free time to explore and taste the vast wealth of culture that Japan has to offer.

Starting in the ancient English city of York, this program will travel to the vibrant Scottish city of Edinburgh, the creative capitol London, and then to the Dutch cities of Utrecht and Amsterdam where design truly infiltrates everyday life. These cities represent a cultural and historical “design slice” through the heart of Northern Europe. Creative projects will focus on the design of multi-sensory experiences for cultural, commercial, and public spaces, and the evolution of European design expression and the international style. Excursions include visiting famous design sites and professional design studios and experiencing total design immersion at the Victoria & Albert Museum, London’s Design Museum, the Stedelijk Museum and the Rietveld Schröder House.

Climate Resilience in Thailand (NEW)
This program focuses on the evolution of water management for megacities such as Mexico City from pre-Aztec times to the present. Mexico City’s center was once Tenochtitlan, a city built in the middle of a lake with a sophisticated water system that supplied water to more than half a million people in the 1500s. Using Mexico City as a case study, we will examine aqueducts, sewer systems, and water treatment plants as well as “green” infrastructure, to understand how water is distributed to large metropolitan areas. Program highlights will include the National Anthropology Museum where students will meet “Tlaloc,” the god of rain, a 30-feet sculpture and an iconic figure of the Aztecs, and Diego Rivera’s mural at the outlet of the Mexico City aqueduct.

During your time in Bangkok, you will explore the ways that conceptualizations of water in Thai culture has informed policy, planning, and design of the city and the implications of that decision-making on future climate resilience. We will examine vernacular building techniques that enabled the Thai people to adapt to living in an active tidal estuary, as well as more recent Westernized strategies of water management (and their impacts) within the city. Kayaking through ‘klongs,’ urban agricultural tours and a community-wide water fight will be all part of the experience.

Relying on lectures, field trips, bike and walking tours, guest speakers, and reading-the-city exercises, the program shows what lessons can be taken from Europe back to U.S. cities. We will visit 6-8 cities—large and small— in four countries that have demonstrated a commitment to and success in becoming more sustainable. This includes looking in-depth at various deliberate eco-districts and neighborhoods in places like Stockholm, Malmö, Copenhagen, Freiburg and Lucerne.
Learn about housing while living in one of the most exciting cities in Europe. Barcelona, celebrated for its architecture, urbanism and landscape, is also a city with strong community identities and long histories of activism. With the city as our classroom, we will explore Barcelona’s renowned attractions as well as its hidden gems, hear talks from local experts, and engage with architects, planners, and residents of fascinating projects in ecological, affordable, and cooperative housing. In your free time, sample from the city’s incredible food scene, wander medieval streets or sun yourself at the beach.

This course is an introduction to the relationship between behavior and evolution, physiology, neurobiology and molecular biology; taking place in beautiful Strasbourg, France. We will examine the relationship of neuroanatomy and physiology to motivation, emotion and mental health, social relationships, and cognition in humans and other animals. We will introduce the field of animal behavior and visit centers that study animal behavior. Nearby to Strasbourg is the small town of Colmar, France, which houses not only a picturesque “Little Venice” district, but also a museum in the former home of Auguste Bartholdi, who designed the Statue of Liberty, which we will visit as part of a discussion of creativity. Strasbourg is in the heart of Alsatian wine country and very near the borders of Germany and Switzerland.
