Program Reviews:
Winter Break 2026 Participant
Learning about architecture, both historical and contemporary, from the East, as the KU architecture program often highlights Western works.

Winter Break 2026 Participant
I gained lots of knowledge in this program. I think learning in our courses here at KU is great, but getting to be physically at the buildings, seeing how their systems keep them functioning, that adds a lot of depth to the learning experience.

Winter Break 2024 Participant
There are a great deal of cultural aspects that affect how we as architects design buildings. On this trip, it was interesting to see how Japanese and Korean culture affected the layout and appearance of the buildings we visited. As a student, you can see architectural design through a new lens.
