City College of New York (CCNY), New York, NY, US, BArch, Architecture
At CUNY: City College of New York (CCNY)I learned the basic concepts of architecture through a highly knowledgeable staff and a competitive studio environment. In addition to my core studies of architecture, I took a very strong interest in the technology aspect of our careers. CCNY offered many classes that were based on the programs we use in everyday practice and some that were a little more conceptual. Classes such as - Revit (which I TA-ed for as well), Rhino, Photoshop & Illustrator, 3DS Max, and even as far as 3D printing and prototyping using Grasshopper. Those were just some of the classes I took while at CCNY, I also used our facilities to their extent by going as far as being a TA in the model shop and cad shop on top of my busy schedule as a student-athlete.
