In the past several years the School of Architecture has initiated international programs that have proven beneficial for all student and faculty members involved.

Informal relationships have been established with several European schools, including the Architectural Association in London and the School of Architecture at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen.

A formal five-year program, organized as a joint design studio with different Chinese universities, began in the fall of 1996.

Students and faculty from the Department of Architecture, University of Hong Kong, and the School of Architecture, TongJi University participated in the first joint design studio.

As part of the program, Princeton students traveled to Hong Kong and Shanghai for a week of exchange and discussion.

This program will continue for the next several years under the direction of Mario Gandelsonas.

In the Spring of 2001, the School of Architecture initiated a new formal three-year
program, also organized as a joint design studio, with the National University of Singapore.
