Many friends of mine have been through UWA and spoke highly of the experience, and my father attended UWA when he studied. It was a natural decision. When I chose a Bachelor of Design, I viewed architecture and design as a beautiful collaboration between logic, creativity and problem solving. This interested me highly, and since then I have been exposed to ideas that exceeded my vision. The community at the ALVA (Architecture, Landscape and Visual Design) is very tight. 

I recently had the great opportunity to attend a summer session in Spain at the headquarters of RCR Arquitectes. We worked in RCR’s space and observed the distinct architecture throughout the region. I would encourage every design student to undertake a summer studio, be it in Perth or abroad – it’s a great way to reduce your workload during the semester while experiencing something very unique.
