The program’s home base: a bus, where time between sites is used to revisit them in the form of student presentations and critical discussions. When the bus de-boards, the classroom follows, as students deepen their understanding of space and design through the acts of sketching, analytical note taking, diagramming, and spatial experience. While both exhilarating and exhausting, Exploring the American South presents students with an incredible opportunity to further knowledge of history, expand architectural vocabulary, build an immense catalog of references and enhance abilities to make arguments in a public forum, all amongst a diverse mix of undergraduate and graduate students.

The course is centered in Estonia, recognized for its high standard of living, wholesome way of life, up-and-coming economy, and export of technology. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Republic of Estonia has experienced sweeping social changes and fundamental shifts in its government and economy. Government policy and local infrastructure—formerly developed and controlled under centralized policy constraints— have undergone significant geo-political changes in recent years, which are reflected in metropolitan spatial structure and the design, construction, and use of the built environment. This summer abroad helps prepare students to live in, and lead, our globally interdependent society.
