These interventions not only assist in easing the speed of change to ecologies and economies reliant on the glaciers but also provide new inhabitations of the park." Archinect connected with Jacques to discuss her thesis project as well as her experiences entering the workforce during a pandemic. As one of the lucky students able to secure a job post-graduation, she shares with us her experiences as a young designer learning how to start her professional career remotely.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://archinect.com/features/tag/1582910/2020-thesis" target="_blank">Archinect's Spotlight on 2020 Thesis Projects</a></strong>:&nbsp;<em>2020 has been an extraordinarily challenging year for architecture graduates.
