About Me

Hello Reader,

Let me start by telling you that I'm a Senior Architecture Major at Ball State University. I'm planning to graduate in the Spring of 2012. I'm am currently timorously searching for Graduate Schools. So if anyone has any helpful advice, feel free to share! I take any chance given to me to travel. I spent last semester on the CapAsia trip, and I'm definite that it has shaped the way that I approach architecture. My favorite architecture firm would have to be Cutler Anderson Architects. I am a sucker for materials. In Graduate School I hope to focus on green design and architecture's environmental impact. I find it to be an issue that shouldn't be ignored. We have the technology, now its our job to apply it! I got excited the other day when I got a compost awareness stamp at the post office!

Outside of classes, I enjoy running as a pastime, especially as a release from the challenges of college. I find inspiration in the words of writers such as Neruda and Frost. I think that everyone has to have a passion, goal, and belief for what it is they are doing. As for this year, I'm anxious to learn about Modern Architecture. While I find it hard to define modernism in the context of today, I hope to gain an understanding of how it has shaped the built environment. I desire to learn more about the meaning of modernism in terms of the period, its classifications, and its philosophies.

The disciple should hunger for knowledge and have the spirit of

humility, perseverance, and tenacity of purpose.
