The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, US, Bachelors, Architecture

Design oriented Architecture with a focus on experimental design. Starting from traditional Beaux Arts style teaching, the school of architecture gave me a tour through traditional modernism techniques into contemporary styles involving film, poetics, and multiplicity. At the same time, I studied a deep back ground into literature, philosophy, and history ending in a Humanities Minor.
