Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, US, BArch, Architecture
I have graduated from Temple University's Architecture Program with a Bachelor of Architecture Degree and a few outstanding awards, the most prestigious being the Alumni Thesis Award - the highest deemed award that honors the student with the most outstanding design presented in their Architectural Thesis Project with a $3000 travel scholarship. The following commendation was written on behalf of the Architecture Alumni Group Jury:
"In considering the nominations for the Alumni Award, one project stood out not only for its academic rigor but also for its evocative qualities.The Alumni jurors were taken with its non-conventional approach, a daring thesis that challenged the standard discourse in terms of materiality, representation, and spatial design. In tackling a very sensitive and emotional topic, the project managed to conduct a rigorous study in materiality and construction of space that led not only to discussions of the quality of the design but also to larger ethical and social issues impacting the architecture profession. Furthermore, the success of this thesis was found in its ability to challenge traditional typologies and to present a new "type" that would serve to benefit individuals coming to terms with a difficult and fearful moment in their life. For these reasons, this thesis has demonstrated the qualities of creativity and innovation that the Architecture Alumni look for in awarding the Temple Architecture Alumni Thesis Prize"
