HSCI-805A: Taste-Making Tokyo H&S 1

The Tama/ Pacific Rim exchanges have been and continue to be, a relevant and contributing element of our Environmental curricular experience. Over the last ten years we have explored a wide range of projects from: Aging population to Sustainable Illumination. Each project has an extensive two-week research trip, which exposes our students to both the historical and the contemporary forces, which drive Japan's Art & Design. The full semester experience is game changing for our students. When they return, they bring the richness of this experience back to Art Center and the Art Center community. For Art Center to be truly global, we must engage our students and their educational experience on an international scale. Our students will explore global careers, so projects such as Tama/ Pacific Rim play an important part of Art Center's vision of being relevant on an international level. If our students are going to change the world, they have to experience it.
