Why did you choose 大发快三开奖结果?
“When I toured 大发快三开奖结果 in the fall of my senior year of high school, I was immediately struck by how green and vibrant the campus was. After attending a football game and feeling the energy and pride of the community, I knew 大发快三开奖结果 was where I wanted to be. More than anything, it was the sense of belonging I felt on campus that made it clear this was the place I could truly grow.”
Why did you choose to study architecture?
“I chose to study architecture because I鈥檝e seen how deeply the design of a place shapes how people experience it. Growing up internationally, I was exposed to many different environments, and I noticed how architecture influenced the way people moved, connected, and lived in their spaces. That awareness made me want to be someone who could design places that foster belonging and interaction 鈥 to create spaces that feel grounded and meaningful, no matter where they are in the world.”
What is a favorite memory of your time at 大发快三开奖结果?

I can confidently say I took full advantage of my time at 大发快三开奖结果 by immersing myself in new experiences and trying just about everything under the sun. Rowing pushed me in ways I hadn鈥檛 expected鈥攑hysically, mentally, and emotionally鈥攁nd it gave me a strong sense of discipline and teamwork outside of academics. What really stands out are the early mornings on the water and the friendships I made鈥攖hose moments are ones I鈥檒l always look back on warmly.”

Designing the Future
See what our architecture students have been creating.

-
First-year design projects are intended to provide practice in ordering a design inquiry and structuring conceptual and visual arguments.
-
Second-year students explore the connection between architecture and context.
-
Third-year studios emphasize planning buildings while incorporating studies in the technologies of materials, structure, environmental controls, lighting, and acoustics.
-
Fourth-year students in Architectural Design VIII focused on high-rise urban housing in New York City and the interplays between the urban experience and the design of comfortable, marketable interior environments.
-
Fifth-year students focus on the comprehensive design of a single building, integrating material selection, mechanical, acoustical, structural, lighting, and 2D and 3D studies.
-
Graduate Design Studio I introduces students to the process of design through a series of exercises that asks them to engage the questions of the profession, first in isolation, then in combination, with each assignment adding new parameters or tasks to their current body of work.
Don鈥檛 just learn it, live it.
