The most prestigious world honor in architecture, the Pritzker Prize, has been awarded to an outsized number of Japanese architects. Why might this be so? This interdisciplinary study abroad program provides students with an exceptional learning opportunity for understanding how and why Japanese cultural production remains a strong influence in architectural and design practice around the globe.

Students will explore Japanese architecture, dating back a thousand years to award-winning work that was just completed, through a combination of touring, sketching, reading, writing, and group projects.
