Project Index
THE ARCTIC DESIGN GROUP (ADG) at the University of Virginia has been bringing students in architecture and landscape architecture to various parts of the Arctic since 2015 to learn from one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing regions on Earth. Undergraduate and graduate students in these design studios are able to participate in highly collaborative design research informing science and community action. The funded trips are typically organized as part of traveling design studios  sponsored by numerous research and cultural organizations.
