Ando Program / Short-term Overseas Trainees in Architecture and Arts, Osaka Foundation of International Exchange, Scholarship
This program is funded by Mr. Tadao Ando, a world-class architect from Osaka, who was awarded and the first recipient of Carlsberg Architectural Prize in May, 1992. Mr. Ando, with his deep interest in the internationalization of Osaka, donated all of the prize money (30 million yen) to the Osaka Prefectural government. OFIX received his donation through the Osaka Prefectural government and, in accordance with the wish of Mr. Ando, established the "Invitational Program for Short-Term Overseas Trainees in Architecture and Arts" as a Tadao Ando - Carlsberg Architectural Prize-Winning Memorial Program. Also there are companies who support the program's objective of inviting about 10 students from various Asian countries who are majoring in architecture and art. This program is held every autumn for a period of one month.
During this program all trainees experience about 10-days of practical on-the-job training at the representative construction companies of Japan in Osaka. During the job training, trainees are taken to on-site review of buildings which are under construction and are lectured about updated technology in the architecture field.
Furthermore, trainees will exchange opinions about architecture with Japanese students who major in the related field. There will also be one-day study tours in Kyoto and Osaka when some buildings designed by Tadao Ando are visited. Aside from the training, all trainees will experience home-stay with a Japanese family for two-days, so the trainees can deepen exchange with Japanese people. Every year this event is popular among all trainees because they can exchange with a "REAL" Japanese family.
