Architecture study trip to Europe is a journey through a diverse continent with a focus on four major design oriented cities. In this study trip, our design mindset will be attentive in the french capital, Paris where we will explore exceptional projects by master architects Frank Gehry and Jean Nouvel as well as other notable architects.
One of the world's most beautiful cities, our guide architect will take us behind the scenes as we delve into the philosophy of Haussmass, the French architect who led the regeneration of Paris. Donning our fashionista attitude, we will visit one of the world’s iconic fashion brand foundations to understand the influence of the fashion world to the evolution of architecture in the city. Topped with rich cultural offerings found in bespoke museums, private galleries and leading architectural institutes our adventure in this city will not be over without exploring in depth the works of great architect, Le Corbusier’s Villa Savoye nestled in the quaint suburbs of Poissy.
By this time our technical minds will be yearning us to head south to the city of Toulouse situated in the undulating valleys. A place where logic applies more than emotions, we will embark on the discovery of engineering applications and the local university school of engineering. A timeless moment to board the world's largest passenger airplane at the Airbus factory satisfying our aviation instincts.Before boarding the high speed TGV to the Catalan capital, we will also test our sky diving skills at the European space centre.
Hola! This will be the salutation after whistling across the Pryenees ranges to the Mediterranean city of Barcelona, voted World Capital of Architecture for 2026. Starting with a private design tour of the urban regeneration of the Central district, then a visit to the department of urban planning to experience behind the scenes and policies that define Barcelona’s philosophies in design.
Our days will run very fast due to the city life that seems not to sleep as we explore the streetscape, the works of Antonio Gaudi starting with Sagrada Familia, Casa Batilo and others, Picasso museum and a moment to test the chilly waters of the Mediterranean sea.
Not running out of steam,our journey will culminate our study trip in the city of Rome where art is the identity. Without wasting time,our journeys will start at the famous Pantheon to witness its magical oculus which has inspired modern technology. Our stay will be complemented by trip to the Vatican, the St Peter's square where great artists once fought over who will define the world of art.To say the least, the exclusive Europe trip is a must for the curious minds and with it comes many benefits for students.

Mind-blowing to see different places, art, architecture, and experience religion in the heart of Rome. and the food was exceptional, especially the Italian pizzas.
