Travelling Studios take Architecture Students
to Nine Countries
Travel is an opportunity to see buildings, explore cities, and to experience landscapes beyond the comforting familiarity of design studio. This year, about 100 Carleton Architecture students are visiting nine countries: Peru, Ghana, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Albania, Colombia, and New Mexico, USA. Short, intense, and highly local, these experiences underline the global nature of architectural culture.
“Study trips abroad have been central to the school for decades and part of our commitment to extend community engagement globally,” says Anne Bordeleau, director of the Azrieli School of Architecture & Urbanism.
