The University of Illinois Landscape Architecture summer semester program in Italy and France offers students an opportunity to engage in the past and present designs of bothcountries’ landscapes, architectural styles, ecologies, art and culture. Students are invited from a variety of disciplines, including landscape architecture, architecture, urban planning, art, history, and ecology.
Led by Landscape Architecture Instructor & Designer in Residence, Katherine Kraszewska, and History Visiting Faculty Gracjan Kraszewski, the program consists of an 8-week study based in Cremolino, Italy. The program will run from May 19 to July 13th and is offered through the Landscape Architecture Department at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. The experience comprises site-visits—including to Milan, Genoa, Cinque Terre, Florence, and Siena—along with investigations of Tuscan and Roman cultural landscapes, lectures by tutors, French instructors and historians, and, finally, a ten day focus on the French countryside surrounding Paris, Versailles, and Le Mont Saint-Michel. The students will also participate in an intensive course in Italian and French Literature and History, all the while being immersed in the host countries’ culture and language while living communally in the Casa Wallace mansion that will serve as the group’s base.For Any questions, Please contact Katy Kraszewska at ktk@illinois.edu and visit the program website to register:https://www.uiucitalyfrance2019.com/
