In the past two centuries Central Europe has experienced rapid and dramatic political changes and the region's art, architecture, and cities both bear witness to and attempt to respond to this complicated and troubled history and its legacies. By exploring six countries, students will learn about the parallels among them and the differences between their artistic, architectural, and urban experiences with imperialism, historicism, nationalism, fascism, communism, and democracy.
Students and faculty will spend the majority of the time in six key cities:Munich, Vienna, Budapest, Krakow, Prague, and Berlin. Most of those cities we will stay in for 4 or 5 nights, however the last two weeks of the trip will be spent in Berlin. In order to visit all the proposed places, this tripwill involve traveling by chartered bus. This means of transportation not only gives more control over scheduling and is more comfortable and secure, but also enables us to easily show films, give lectures, and meet with students while in transit as well as take daytrips and stop and see other sites and cities along the way. These day trips and rest stops will include Dachau, Nuremburg, Salzburg, Mauthausen, Bratislava, Martin, Aushwitz-Birkenau, Brno, Terezin, and Dresden.
The trip is being led by two faculty members from the School of Architecture and one from the Department of Art and Art History. Four different classes will be offered, with all students taking one class in common about the history of Central European Cities. In the afternoons, students will all choose a second class - either drawing, digital photography, or a second history class on Jewish Heritage in Central Europe.
