"My experience with the STAR program was profound in my understanding of architecture and my development in designing capabilities. When learning about the materials we use every day to construct a building we often forget the process behind making it. Every terra cotta tile has a long exact process to create it. Seeing the process has been eye opening and something I will never forget.”

“This project began as a question and evolved into something far more meaningful than I anticipated. It gave me the opportunity to think differently about water, change, and how we design for uncertainty. This experience will continue to shape my work going forward.”
