The Department of Architecture at KSU strongly encourages students enrolled in the
architecture program to be a part of the global community, experience architecture,
art and international design outside of their own region.
Local, national and international Design Collaborations provide intellectual forums
for our faculty and students to exchange ideas and research and develop a better understanding
of other cultural approaches to the built environment.
KSU has an extensive study abroad initiative that provides numerous opportunities
for students to travel and study abroad.
The Department of Architecture offers unique architecture specific study abroad and
workshop programs. These programs are administered through the office of international
studies. For more information on architecture study abroad options at KSU see KSU's
Education Abroad website below.
The Dessau Summer School of Architecture develops its thematic focus from the relevance
of Bauhaus Dessau in the history of architecture. Parts of the course are conducted
within Bauhaus Dessau.
At the Dessau Summer School of Architecture, participants from different nations enter
into an architectural dialogue on a review of modernity in architecture. To this purpose,
the components of the program place current developments in architecture and design
in relation to the history of modernity and to its evidence on site.
Dessau Summer School of Architecture starts with a workshop in cooperation with Bauhaus
Dessau Foundation on the mutual relations between education and design in the Bauhaus
Aula. Following this, the Studio is closely related to this context.
Art Class, Architecture and Society including German Language Class, Excursions to
close and also more remote locations of Modern Architecture develop and deepen this
focal point.
For more information on this program, please contact Dr. Ermal Shpuza or Nicole Meanor, Education Abroad Program Coordinator.
