American graduate student of landscape design and urban planning studies abroad. Information about GSD architecture of Harvard University: First of all, let's talk about the official website of GSD of Harvard University. It looks like I can look at the home page for a long time, and the layout is particularly clear and reasonable. There is a strong "You see, I am Harvard University, which is different from others~~

American graduate students of landscape design and urban planning study abroad

        Harvard GSD Architecture Information:

First of all Well, I can look at the homepage for a long time, and the layout is particularly clear and reasonable, with a strong sense of "you see I am Harvard, I am different from others".

This is the screenshot of the home page. There are six topics in it. After looking at it, I should sort out the current research topics according to the theme. I opened Water, which contains Master Thesis (and winner), Research, some related news, as well as works of art students abroad, and related exhibitions. If there are art students who want to apply Studying abroad in architecture Even if you don't apply for GSD, you can stroll around and have a look at the following themes in the collection of overseas study works on architectural landscape design and urban planning. I feel that these art overseas study information will be helpful.

Then poke the Menu in the upper right corner, you can see the information related to the major of overseas architecture!

There are three major departments of GSD, namely, the three in bold above, where American graduate students of landscape design and urban planning study at Harvard. Later, there will be an introduction, mainly about Architecture. The most important information about GSD is actually in the school name, Haverd University Graduate School of Design The most important thing is the master program. Basically, all majors are masters. (In fact, I really haven't found any Undergraduate program, but after all, it is only official website information. With so many links, it is inevitable that there are missing pages. To learn more about GSD, it can come from Natural Light Art Study Abroad Consultation. Let's see what our GSD instructors say.)

　　 But no matter which direction, there are two key points are the same, that is, this:

History and theory, geographically across continents and oceans, humanistic knowledge and academic knowledge of relevant buildings in various regions, from ancient times to the present; The second is the study of design, the cultivation of art literacy, contemporary architecture, contemporary urbanism, and the use of some contemporary design media.

      GSD curriculum of Harvard University:

Another important thing about GSD is:

Each official website has courses page. Each time you click on it, some schools will give a general direction plan for the curriculum (such as SVA and Pratt), some will give a detailed curriculum arrangement for each semester (such as Parsons), and some will also give a brief introduction to each course (such as Columbia Chicago), And there will be some videos of Lecture (still Columbia Chicago) Some of them are empty and full of platitudes (I'm not black here, but the official websites of some schools are really hard to find), but GSD I really Kneel down

　　 Architecture major for overseas students Of course, there are course introductions. The instructor also gave them generously, but even the class time was given I try to translate the content of the above figure into Chinese, which should be in four words:

Welcome to the class

　　 First of all, Architecture, the architectural design direction of art study abroad, the official website says so

Cultivate the ability to realize inspiration, including basic technology learning, theoretical history learning, and visual learning. As mentioned in the screenshot above, the learning range is wide, but the focus is on design. I turned to two majors, Master in Architecture I and Master in Architecture II. Here is a joke. Google's browser will automatically translate web pages. He translated Master in Architecture I as follows:

So I advise everyone who wants to go abroad not to use Google Translation or Baidu Translator Youdao Translation. If you input Chinese, they will translate many such laughable sentences.

　　 To get back to the point, according to the official website information, Master in Architecture I is more basic than II, and the official website says:

After a look at the information, the general meaning is that it is mainly for those who have not learned the relevant professional knowledge of architecture. The official website of the course says that the preference for administration is given to applications who have completed a balanced ongoing education that includes study in the arts, sciences, and humanity The undergraduate degree is MA BFA. Anyone who studies arts and humanities can apply for Architecture I because they have a M Arch-1 program, covering some basic knowledge, one semester calculus; A semester of physics (algebra based, covering mechanics and thermodynamics... I only know that the latter word is thermodynamics, I really don't understand it, forgive liberal arts students); And two semesters of architectural history (from the Renaissance to the present and contemporary) But M The average score of the Arch-1 program needs B - to continue learning. The requirements for the score are also quite consistent with the style of "Harvard". So for those who have not learned about architecture, it is very important to spend two years. They pay more attention to the foundation.

　　 Then one and a half years later, it will be the advanced study. The official website has this:

That is to say, students with basic knowledge can start learning from the third semester. If undergraduate art study abroad is directly related to the major, you can apply for Architecture II directly, as shown in the figure below:

So no matter what you have learned before, as long as you are interested in the Department of Art and Architecture, you will have the opportunity to go to GSD. Of course, if you want to have a greater opportunity, you can come to the Natural Light Art Institute for Studying Abroad.

　　 There are four majors in Landscape:

The first Landscape Architecture I and the previous Architecture I are of the same type, intended for students without architectural foundation, while the second one is for students with a foundation and a high degree of undergraduate and graduate matching. Note that there is a need for Strong Portfolio, so Natural light can help you. After all, if I remember correctly, there seem to be three or four teachers who graduated from GSD, and one teacher who read both AA and GSD; The third feeling is a more advanced version of LA. You can click in to see the details. The last good thing is the cooperation majors of the two departments of Landscape and Urban, the combination of two kinds of thinking and two kinds of vision, but the requirements are also higher. It is better for undergraduate majors to stand on one side in two directions.

Then the Landscape Department was founded in 1900 and plays an important role in the industry (the official website says so, but I think... as long as it is Harvard, no matter what major, it is important in the industry...?)

Do you know what it feels like to use the official website of GSD in the academic department of Urban, that is, almost every professional homepage can be found, so, a paragraph, especially from Harvard:

They started everything first. They can go to GSD to read. Really, the day they received the offer, they also received offers of various opportunities in life (so come to the natural light quickly, we have GSD instructors here)

　　 Once again, there are three major disciplines in UPD:

It's very easy to understand. Just take the name of the department apart. For example, UPD, Urban Planning and Design. Therefore, there is a clear division of labor between planning and design. And the third one, Joint Degree, feels like a double degree, which is specially offered to students studying Master in GSD. (I don't know whether other departments have such programs. I went back to ask the tutor of Natural Light GSD about this question and wrote it in the push next Friday after getting a clear answer)
