In an ambitious spring 2020 undergraduate University of Kentucky design studio led by Greg Luhan, now head of the Texas A&M Department of Architecture, who at the time was a UK faculty member, students traveled internationally to document and analyze architecture, landscapes, and interior spaces in historic and modern Eastern megacities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luhan co-authored a book, \u201cGlobal Studio: Shanghai \u2013 Louisville,\u201d about the studio, in which UK students worked alongside design professionals and Chinese students. The book, which earned the 2023 Interior Design Educators Council Media Award, was co-authored by Rebekah Radtke, interim director of the UK\u2019s School of Interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe book beautifully highlights international learning experiences for interior designers and architects,\u201d noted the IDEC\u2019s awards committee. \u201cThe experience of working with practitioners and Chinese students appears to have been rich and productive experiences.
