Syracuse University Program in Florence
The Syracuse University Florence Program, Florence, Italy
The School of Architecture, in conjunction with the University's
Division of International Programs Abroad (DIPA), encourages students to spend a semester, year, or summer in Florence, Italy. Nearly 80 percent of our fourth-year students participate in the program. Students take required design studios and professional
architecture electives and choose from a number of arts and sciences and Italian language and literature courses. Traditionally, travel is an important ingredient in an architect's education. From centrally located Florence, students take frequent field trips to other sites of architectural significance. Students have traveled as far north as Lugano, Switzerland, and as far south as Naples, Pompeii, and Sicily. The itinerary each semester includes excursions to Venice, Milan, and Rome as well as the important smaller towns of Pisa, Siena, and Bologna. Design work is intensified during the Florence program by the presence of a distinguished visiting European critic who joins the SU faculty each semester. This each student to yet another theoretical viewpoint, one with an international orientation. Final semester reviews bring still other European critics to the program.
Our students learn from visiting critics like Edward Jones, Maurice
Cox, Maurizio di Vita, Thomas Schumacher, Massimo Carmassi, and Andrea
Ponsi.
