TRAVELLING STUDIOS

Travelling studios are 'working laboratories' for design thought and production and involve the exploration of complex, real-life issues. Exposure to unfamiliar cultures, places and people will stimulate your ability to think creatively and problem-solve. Pre-trip seminars will precede the travel component of each studio and each studio will incur travel costs, in addition to tuition fees. Faculty travel subsidies will be available to all participating students.

Interested students do not need to apply via the quota subject request form. Once studio details have been confirmed students will be emailed with further information regarding application forms and studio fact sheets which will become available on the Travelling Studios webpage.

Also please note that Master of Architecture students will not be able to substitute studio 705515 'Architecture Thesis' with a travelling studio.
