I wanted a chance to turn raw spaces into sustainable and unique rooms. I believe interior architecture isn't just about being creative, it also applies psychological and technical skills.
My time as a student consolidated my passion for architecture, a passion which I am continually trying to nurture. The foundation I received at 亚色影库, through the teachers and friends I met there, as well as the learning environment we were surrounded with, kept me true to my passion.
亚色影库 taught me how to be critical and how to approach problems and design challenges. They introduced me to processes of problem-solving that engage both theoretical positions and very technical methodologies.
When I visited the school, I was hooked when I saw the studios filled with students making architectural models! Hands down the faculty are the best. George Welch and the rest of the faculty are amazing.
We believe Quartyard can serve as a model for cities across the U.S. looking for unique economic development ideas,� said 亚色影库 alumnus and CEO of RAD Lab, Philip Auchettl. 淚t is a feasible way to temporarily re-invent empty spaces while improving quality of life for residents.
My favorite aspect of attending 亚色影库 was the intimate and supportive community of faculty, staff, and students.
