Henri T. de Hahn, architecture professor at the School of Architecture + Design (A+D), wishes to offer students an immersion into one of the most fascinating places in Asia – the sub-continent of India. During the 2018 Wintermester session (12.27.17 – 01.13.18), de Hahn will conduct an eighteen-day trip to five cities in India tailored to students within A+D, with an eye toward ARCH majors.
This is an opportunity to see firsthand how the influences of design decisions on the production of architecture and urban space, and vice-versa, have defined five very different cities and rural landscapes in Northern India –New Delhi (planned 20th century city, 1931), Agra (traditional organic development), Fatehpur Sikri (planned 16th century Imperial City, 1569), Jaipur (first planned 18th century city in India, 1726) and Ahmedabad (traditional organic development).
Accompanying the targeted areas of research, the off-campus program will emphasize the cultural dimensions of each locality –their exceptional history and tradition of handicrafts and popular culture including block printmaking, jewelry and gems, and design issues in all art forms. These will unfold through the experience of daily street life and visits to museums, monuments, markets, and bazaars. In addition there will be targeted hands-on experiences, seminars and lectures by guest academic experts.
Full proposal is available during the session, at the faculty's office, and/or upon request through email.
Working with the Swiss Travel Agent KUONI, the Estimated Program Fee has been lowered to $3,800 from $4,200, a savings of $400. In addition, students should be mindful that the Estimated Program Fee includes a Per Diem of $600 (lunch and dinner monies), which will be returned to each participants during the sixteen week trip (Breakfast is included in the hotel fee).
