Are you interested in exploring the new generation of Japanese landscape and the traditional Japanese garden design? Are you curious about the “walking street” where people converge for an all night shopping? Landscape Architecture Program at OSU is opening a summer design study program in May 2006. This course will introduce you to a series of urban landscape and historic garden design around Japan’s cultural city, Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka and Thailand’s ancient city Chiangmai and capital city Bangkok. The study will concentrate in the use of stone, water, greenery, colors, light, spaces, sequences, feeling and senses.



This will be a three-week study program sponsored by Landscape Architecture Program, OSU. The cost including lodging, local transportation, historic site admission, and program fee will be around $1600 not including tuition and airfare. Tuition is in-state for residence and non-residence international students alike for 1 to 6 credit hours. Travel scholarships of up to $300 are available for qualified students. Students are expected to do photo journals, site sketching, and report writing. Participants can be in any majors or citizens who sign up for OSU extension summer course.
