Student testimonials

Studying design in the classroom is one thing, but heading to a different country is even better. My global studio was crucial in shattering and reassembling what I thought design was. I met some of my closest friends and made connections that I will cherish for a lifetime.

Travelling abroad as a part of a Design Studio has been a highlight of my education. It was an enriching opportunity which allowed me to greatly expand my understanding and appreciation of architecture. Travel was harnessed as a potential way to develop our projects, propose alternative ways of thinking, and immerse ourselves in the rich history and styles of architecture.
