Peru Study Abroad Program and Exchange:
The Peru Landscape Design Study Abroad Program is a 21 days summer program. Participants spend time in and around the Peruvian cities of Lima, Trujullo, Hauanchaco, Cusco, and Machu Picchu. While in Lima, we are hosted by the architecture program of Universidad Peruana De Ciencias (UPC). This course explores built works, urban spaces, natural resources, history, and the culture of Peru. Peru provides the grounds for studying Inca, Spanish colonial, and Peruvian cultures. Native American ruins in the country will provide a rich landscape for studying pre-Columbian site design, colonial and vernacular Peruvian design and urbanism. As part of this cultural and academic exchange, we host Architecture students from Peru each February on our Stillwater campus. 2011 Brochure
