Interior Architecture + Design undergraduate program
This course examines the development and impact of resiliency as it relates to a community’s ability to predict, react and adapt to unanticipated factors.  Students gain factual knowledge about the strategies and tools required for implementing resiliency with a focus on historical built environments and business continuity planning.  Students analyze and observe various resilient approaches used across the globe and explore these important cultural and geographical differences through international travel.

My experience:

Antonio Gaudi is truly an amazing architect. Visiting the places he designed was an experience I will never forget. One of my favorite places was Casa Batllo, a house and apartment designed for the Batllo family. This Art Nouveau building was designed and inspired by nature and the under water world of sea creatures. The facade is colorful with organic shapes separating it from the rest of the buildings surrounding it. When walking through, it was a building like no other and every aspect he designed displayed his incredible talent as an architect.
