Architecture Matters
In many ways, people love architecture because it represents who we want to be at any given time. Institutions need passionate people who are ready to bring architecture to the mat in terms of updating its face and the way it is practiced. To train a generation of diverse students who are ready to redefine civil servant and recreate its components to include varying populations, people who are willing to mix realism, inspiration, a high level of craftsmanship, and a student-centered approach are key parts of creating that change. I am excited and ready to be one of those people.
