"My own personal experiences in architecture school have been incredibly enriching – but as I reflect on the past three years and look ahead, I find myself amongst those who are unsure. And I’m okay with that. I think that the world of the built environment is fascinating, and that our building and construction industries are going to become key as we find ourselves in an increasingly green-conscious society. New technologies, economic landscapes and design practices have led to the creation and growth of new schools of thought, redefining the role of the architect in the process. I find myself deeply engrossed in the questions that these changes pose, eager to drive these conversations.

Architecture is not a narrow path – it’s a river that has many tributaries. And while it is true that the costs of the course may be prohibitive to some (see Post Crit), the three-part structure allows for many to branch out – whether that be into other aspects of the built environment or into whole other disciplines."
