This book presents the work produced during the FALL 2017 semester by Clemson Students at the Villa with particular emphasis on students’ sketches, field studies, and studio projects.
The Charles E. Daniel Center for Building, Research and Urban Studies was founded in 1972 as one of the first architecture programs in the US to establish a satellite program in Europe. Since its creation, the Genova program has served as a home for Clemson University, captivating and inspiring countless architecture students. The program balances studio experience with studies of Italian architecture, contemporary design, urban practices, culture and field sketching. Students spend about a third of the 15-week semester traveling around Italy and Europe. A resident professor from Clemson is assisted by Italian professors who also practice architecture in Genoa. Visiting critics and lecturers from Italy and Europe come to the center on a regular basis to lecture and critique student work.
