Japan

The College of Environmental Design Japan Studio is an interdisciplinary program open to students of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban and Regional Planning.

The program is focused on collaborative work and exposure to non-western canons of cultural, professional, and academic traditions, resulting in an urban design project that addresses pressing urban, architectural and landscape issues. By the end of the program, students will gain a deeper understanding of interdisciplinary collaboration and the execution of an urban design project. Students will also explore key topics such as public space design, ethical values, human diversity, and the cultural traditions of Japan.

The program runs during the CPP Summer semester and includes three weeks of face-to-face instruction in Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Naoshima, and Osaka). Online academic collaboration takes place before and after travel for the duration of the term.
