These excursions include (1) formal lectures and seminars held at\u0026nbsp; buildings, landscapes and urban projects with group visits, led by the Georgia Tech faculty and supported as appropriate by lectures and tours by local authorities; (2) laboratory sessions involving visual and technical analysis through photography, drawing, journal sketching, etc., of buildings, urban projects or landscapes, under faculty supervision, and (3) field trips, where the faculty lead students on walking tours of significant landscapes, urban projects, or exhibitions to understand the urban and cultural context.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESecond, the collaborative workshops focus on a contemporary urban issue in two different cities in two different cultural situations.

The previous workshops with Tongji students in Shanghai produced exceptional results in terms of design projects and enduring friendships. In addition, students stay in university housing or small hotels in each city. This requires them to engage day-to-day life in each city by traveling by public transit, shopping in public markets and stores for food and supplies, and dining out individually or in small groups. Only one group meal is included in each city.\u0026nbsp; Because the average student age is typically 24 to 30 years old, the program encourages independent activities to supplement the program of group site visits.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHousing\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn Shanghai, students will be staying in the Tongji University International Dormitory on\u0026nbsp; the campus.
