Schools for Architecture/Graphic Design/Art History in France, Germany, and Austria

Hello,

I was wondering if there was anyone out there who good give me advice
concerning good and bad schools for Architecture/Graphic Design/Art
History in France, Germany, and Austria.  I will graduate next may from
the University of Colorado-Boulder with a Bachelors in Environmental
Design(emphasis architecture), and am now applying for a year long study
abroad scholarship for when I graduate.  I felt that this would be a good
thing to do after I graduate.  To see how architecture is taught/thought
about/practiced in other countries, and to continue to learn/use my french
or german language skills.  I have lists of all the universities in each
country, but am at a bit of a loss as to which ones are better than
others.

So far the only leeds I have is the Ecole d'Architecture de Paris Villemin
that supposedly has a one year theory degree, or the Hochschule der
Kuenste-Berlin where the arts and architecture study in the same building.
Any more info would be great.

Thanks to anyone who has some.

Aaron
