UNFORGETTABLE STUDY TRIPS

For me the best part of the master is when you get to interact closer to the architects by visiting their offices, making field trips and actually standing in projects made by them.

AN IMPRESSIVE LEVEL OF WORK

This is what I was searching for; no competitiveness (bad one), just enjoying the intense process, learning from very different countries and workflows, and clarifying what I want for my future after some years of professional experience.

SPECIALTY IS THE KEY
The program and the experience exceed what was imagined, nothing negative. In addition to the workshops, the specialties also project and make architecture. A very balanced program between theory and practice. An experience that changed my understanding of the role of the architect and what I want from the profession.
