The Tulane School of Architecture Program at Pantheon Institute

The Tulane School of Architecture Fall 2010 study abroad program at the Pantheon Institute in Rome has successfully come to its conclusion. In the Materials & Methods course, taught by Professor David Sabatello, the students were exposed to a multitude of architectural experiences ranging from Roman Antiquity to the most outstanding examples of Roman contemporary architecture such as the MAXXI Museum by Zaha Hadid, the Ara Pacis Museum by Richard Meier and the new Auditorium by Renzo Piano.

The students were encouraged to fully interiorize the stratified complexity of the Roman architectural scenario and responded with enthusiasm and academic participation, as testified by their excellent performance in their final assignment.

Moreover they were encouraged to export their new academic acquisitions into their design studio work, which they did with encouraging results, under the competent guidance of Prof. Marcella Del Signore and Prof. Tiffany Lin.

We can therefore take pride in saying that this first experience in direct academic cooperation between TSA and the Pantheon Institute has been an academic success.
