Program Description

Chatham faculty and students will work with counterparts at universities in Jogyakarta and Bali to study waterside housing enviroments and the inclusion of arts and creative work in those environments. During the field experience and in the prerequisite course, peer to peer work with Indonesian students will be stressed. Students will tour and document neighborhoods and study the Balinese compound house as a type. Excursions will include visits to the 9th century temples Borobudur and Prambanan in Yogyakarta, and Ubud, Tampak Siring temple, Kintamani volcano and Mount Batur on Bali.
