CapAsia

CapAsia XI-Spring 2022

 

The eleventh biennial CapAsia field semester is set to leave in January 2022. This unique field semester provides an extraordinary opportunity for participants to experience the socially, culturally, and historically different Asia through a strategy of cultural immersion and collaborative projects with the help of a network of scholars, professionals, and educators of design, policy, planning, and development in the region.

​

The emphasis is on learning by doing. By reflection, the participants develop a critical understanding of their own cultures and environments, and an ability to locate themselves within an increasingly globalizing world. The experience is life-changing.

​

It has received substantial national and international acceptance including three Fulbright-Hays Group Study Abroad awards. Also, students from Berkeley, DePaul, Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, MIT, New Jersey State University, Rutgers, University of Minnesota, University of Oregon, University of Southern California, Wayne State, Virginia Commonwealth University, and Ball State have participated in the program. 

 

The field study is open to both undergraduates and graduate students from any university, and from any major, with an interest in social, cultural, and spatial aspects of urban and/or built environments.
