How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?

I just started my third year of architecture school at Florida Atlantic University and am also an intern at Kravit Architectural.

Optimizing myself and my designs is something that excites me in the work i do, since every project is never perfect. Just pushing myself to learn from fellow students and mentors from my internship excited me in the work i do everyday.

Role in Featured Project:
Student Project
Featured Project Description:
The Design District Museum is a project focused on supporting those affected by gentrification due to the area's rapid development of real estate. The museum is focused on free interior and exterior gathering areas since the project focuses on giving back to the residents. Due to Florida's heat and humidity, outdoor spaces are undesirable. To counteract this issue, overhangs and openings are placed strategically in areas depending on the sun and wind forces.
