What was the most important thing/skill/concept you learned at the School of Architecture?
The most important concept I learned is by far the value and the joy of collaboration with others.
Who made the most lasting impression (most influenced you) and why?
Kate Solomonson for being the professor of both my very first and my very last courses at the University of Minnesota, and for being such a warm and inspiring person.
What is your favorite memory from your studio days?
Having the doorman disapprovingly tell us goodnight when we left studio at crazy hours of the night and morning during our semester abroad in Oaxaca, and "celebrating" April Fools' Day with/against each other.
Please identify one (or more) memorable design project that you worked on while a student at the School of Architecture.
Designing and building a brick wall for BDA studio at the Masonry Institute and all three of the studio projects with Lance Lavine in Oaxaca.
What major forces (such as individual architects, design philosophies, rendering styles, research methods, etc.) do you remember influencing you significantly as a student?
Monica Fogg's class on watercolor and architecture had at the time and has continued to have an enormous impact on my ability to visually communicate ideas and the artistic direction my work has taken.
Cite an example (be specific) that illustrates how you used the education you received at the School of Architecture to positively impact (or better) your community, city, nation or the world.
My love of design fostered at the U of M encouraged me to volunteer with Free Arts Minnesota doing art projects each week with children who live at the YWCA.
