Mobile Italy is a workshop intended to allow students to actively participate in documenting a culture of design in northern and central Italy. During the course of the term digital and analogue documents, still and motion media, and collected cultural artifacts are combined to study the Italian design culture as evidenced through its people, arts, architecture, history, and culture. Students considering this offering must have completed two design studios in art or architecture, and have the ability to walk or hike four miles with small pack. This workshop is led by John Humphries, Department of Architecture.
