Study Trips

Field Trips in Taiwan

In our courses, interpretation of artworks is usually based on digital photographs, films or visual materials in books. The direct physical experience of artworks and monuments, their spatial conditions and materiality, is indispensable to get a closer insight into the works’ nature and qualities. We are therefore eager to enrich our classroom training with visits to museums and galleries. We further undertake field trips within Taiwan to study Chinese, colonial, and contemporary architecture.

International Study Trips

In the last ten years, we regularly organized international study trips to the following countries: Japan, China, Italy, Germany, Austria, Belgium and Spain. The journeys could include joint workshops and seminars with students of the destination countries, or international students’ conferences. Our students benefit from the opportunity to create their personal networks at an early stage of their professional career.

Venice and North Italy

Strategic base of the trip was the city of Venice, where historical sites, museums and exhibitions have been visited. Additionally, four day trips to Padua, Verona, Bologna and to some smaller localities of cultural relevance on the Venetian mainland have been undertaken. It was possible to present a rather complete and in-depth view of the journey’s destinations.
