Architectural Institute In Prague (ARCHIP) is the first private international school of architecture in the Czech Republic. The school offers instruction only in the English language and is truly international, with an emphasis on international students and faculty. ARCHIP was established in 2010 and benefits from being situated in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic. The premises of ARCHIP are in the Kartografie Praha building in Prague 7 Františka Křížka, a former printing workshop that has kept its industrial character after renovation. ==History== The plan to start a new school of architecture in Prague was born in 2005 in a group of people around the architect Martin Roubík (1949–2008).Roubik along with his wife, Regina Loukotová (the rector of the school), had been thinking about a private architecture school for nearly 10 years. Roubík had returned to Prague from Oslo, where he had been teaching and working, and both felt something was missing in the schooling offered for architects here."There are seven different places in the Czech Republic where you can study architecture," she says. "The other schools also offer programs in English, but not the whole package - a bachelor's degree in English."A lack of emphasis in certain areas also worried Loukotová, and these are the subjects ARCHIP will highlight. Pištěk, the current vice-rector〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archip.eu/en/people/management/ )〕 of the institute and a former student of Roubík's, is a freelance architect. All four of the core people working to open the school still have their day jobs and are still young enough to remember their school days. Pištěk agrees that architecture education in Prague is lacking."ARCHIP wants different fields to collaborate together at the beginning of the planning process and this includes collaborating when you are a student," he said. "I missed this a lot when I was in school." The school received its final approval to operate from the Education Ministry in May 2010. It has about 45 professors, about one-third of whom are Czech, and the rest are from abroad. Class sizes are currently between 20 and 30 students,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.archip.eu/en/news/media/newsletters )〕 and will expand up to 60 students as the school grows, compared with the roughly 300 at the Czech Technical University. With an international character of both students and staff and a program in English, the school certainly offers something different. But ARCHIP's bottom line will be teaching the fundamentals of architecture.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ARCHIP」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
