SUMMER COURSE SURVEY

“When Macarena Chiriboga came to Bali in 2009, she had just finished a master’s degree in architecture in the United States, doing her thesis on the use of bamboo as a building material.

The trip was meant to be a vacation. But drawn by the unusual architecture of a school on the island — the Green School, whose buildings are all made from bamboo — she was soon back, and is now designing buildings for a “green village” being built by the developer Ibuku International about an hour’s drive from the Indonesian island’s beaches.”, New York Times, March 11, 2011

The Special Topics course ‘Continuity and Discontinuity’ is being taught in Savannah and Lacoste to further the conversation of the architecture and interiors of addition. The course is suitable for many majors, and is already a substitution for INDS and HIPR. If you have questions, talk to Chair Singeisen, or Chair Vo.
