VABE seamlessly blends visual arts with architecture

I love architecture because there is always something to be discovered, whether it is on the interior or exterior of a building, or just the elated feeling you get when you see it.  

I want to become an architect because I think I can be that person – the one who creates those wonderful discoveries.  I chose VABE because the program seamlessly blends visual arts with architecture, and I had never thought of these two fields being intertwined so closely until VABE.  

I have always been interested in the visual arts, so this program appealed to all aspects of my creative side.  Outside of VABE, I like to sleep (because we all know in VABE, there isn’t much time for that). 

All joking aside, I play intramural soccer, I am an amateur photographer, I keep up my painting and I voraciously read architecture books.  

A noteworthy accomplishment is that my relief shelter design was selected during my first year as the VABE project to be built at human scale.

Some of my favourite architects are: Frank Gehry, Walter Gropius, Eero Saarinen, and Antoni Gaudi.
