University of Houston, Houston, THE EUROPEAN METROPOLIS: FROM ROME TO VIENNA

DESIGN STUDIO + APPLIED RESEARCH COURSES

The study abroad program was based on the premise that today’s architects must engage in the challenges of the contemporary metropolis by negotiation the urban and architectural scale with an eye towards the future and past.

We visited numbers of modem architecture in Italy and Austria to see how constraints of historical context can enhance rather than hinder creative design.
