A maximum of 15 students from the College may participate in the Florence program each fall. Students and faculty from the College spend seven weeks working with faculty and students from the Technical University at Prague on an intensive studio design problem. The program is held in Prague, where the students live in apartments and study in the city. Studio instruction is supplemented with field trips to Vienna and other European cities. In 1987, the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the faculty of Planning and Architecture at the Technical University of Vienna agreed to establish a graduate student and faculty exchange program.
Course work emphasizes architectural design and urban planning.
University of Michigan participation is limited to students enrolled in Years 5 and 6 of the Architecture Program. A small group of Austrian students study at the College during the fall terms. The same number of U-M students study at the Technical University of Vienna and one of our faculty members teaches during winter terms.
