After having spent the past two summers working on Design + Build projects, I have fallen in love with this field of architecture. These projects have taught me to approach architecture from a more pragmatic perspective than I did in the academic setting. It has taught me the value of collaboration and has given me a whole new appreciation for simple yet elegant design. As I am a very hands-on oriented person, I enjoy being involved in the entire process: from initial sketches to refined architectural drawings and models to physical fabrication.
