Study Trips
In addition to the core curriculum the Paris School offers study trips and workshops outside the School to further broaden the student’s exposure to external researchers and practitioners.
The School also arranges an annual 5-day study trip to a European city outside of France, as well as a 3-day visit to a city within France. The first typically takes place during Term 1, with the first mid-term review happening abroad. The second reinforces the studio production in Term 2, with visits to architects' practices, galleries, or particular buildings outside of the Greater Paris region.
