The College of Environmental Design has a long tradition of engaging in various ways with the world at large. Indeed, it can boast some of the world’s top experts on Latin America, the Middle East, and South Asia among its faculty members. Courses in the college’s three departments clearly illustrate this international and interdisciplinary outlook, and while design studios conducted abroad and structured around the problems of other countries are not new, they have taken on a new dimension as well as a new urgency at this moment, as this issue of FRAMEWORKS illustrates.
