Venice Field School Info Session

Faculty Coordinator:  Dr. Sally Hickson, Director, School of Fine Art & Music

"Architecture in Venice: The City and the Sea":This 3000-level, 1.0 U of G credit course will examine the multi-cultural history of Venice, between east and west; the materials and methods of construction used in public, domestic and religious buildings; the clash of past and present in contemporary architectural development; and the structural relationship between the city and the sea in terms of its urban fabric and built identity.  This is a course that asks you to think about the past, present and future built environment in the context of a highly unique multi-cultural history and urban ecology.  The group will visit various monuments and museums in the city, while doing research on an assigned building in the city.
