Road Trip: Summer 2009 Blogs

Ahh, summer sounds: the tinny ice cream truck music luring little kids to buy sweet treats, the slap/splash of a cannonball, the cheery din of crickets at night. Here at the Fay Jones School of Architecture it's eerily quiet in the summer months, in part because a number of our students and (brave) faculty members have hit the road as part of the school's international studies program.

This summer some bloggers have signed on to share their experiences with us:

A fourth-year student from Ft. Smith, Ark., Billy Fleming will be studying historic landscapes in Rome, Paris, and sites throughout England this summer as part of the landscape architecture department’s Summer European Field Studies program. Read Billy's travel blog.

For the past eight years Prof. Russell Rudzinski has headed south in May to direct the school's Mexico Summer Urban Studio. Not this year, though, thanks to the swine flu outbreak. Instead, Russell and four students will explore the greater United States in a Ford Econoline van. Check out their Stalking American Space blog.
