Opportunity


Coming to Buenos Aires for a graduate architecture studio seemed very unlikely up until a few short months ago. After 4 years of studying architecture for as undergraduate at Roger Williams in Bristol, RI, I knew I needed at least one semester in a completely new environment and a new experience if I were to continue on with their masters program. Normally, Roger Willams' graduate program offers a studio in Buenos Aires at UTDT run by a slightly nutty man named Bonder, however, this fall, there was not enough interest generated for the program to run...

I didn't like this so I looked into joining another school's program that was also traveling down to Buenos Aires in the fall. After some miscommunication with my Dean, he agreed to look into Washington University of St. Louis's Bs.As. graduate architecture studio...

This was particularly promising news as I was also looking into their graduate school earlier in the year.

A very good opportunity finally came up around mid July as I heard from the Wash U Dean that I could jump on with their studio. This left me little time to prepare but however passing up the opportunity to be around new students, new professors, and a different country would have been regrettable.
