We have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to develop and implement study abroad programs on four different continents. Most recently we have worked in the Czech Republic, Oman, Mexico, Palestine, Hong Kong and Panama. This fall semester we offered a vertical, interdisciplinary and international studio integrated into the core curricula of three schools of design across three Universities. We developed interdisciplinary teams of highly selected students to participate in a compelling urban design studio and practicum in Prague. Three Universities participated: the Architectural Institute of Prague, Bilkent University in Turkey, and the University of Arizona. This project focused on the redevelopment of the post-industrial urban water front of district seven in Prague, Czech Republic. The basic pedagogical intent of the program was to enhance cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary awareness, collaboration and learning in the students and faculty of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Planning of the three participant Universities. We trust that the processes employed and the community development solutions generated during this complex and multi-layered project will eventually gain relevance and bear witness in subsequent research and professional work of all student and faculty participants. The following document presents the design and planning efforts of the University of Arizona team.
