Go Back to School for Free

Anyone can go back to school, thanks to free online architecture classes offered by big name universities. The courses run the gamut, from historic preservation to green design. This week I have my eye on the Beijing Urban Design Studio, a joint course from MIT and Tsinghua University. In this class, students worked on planning and designing important, often controversial, projects for Beijing, China. The course is over, but the readings, assignments, and project presentations are archived and you can download everything for free.
