On the first day of my program, we did a couple of icebreaker exercises to ease the awkwardness of the room and dove right into some the first techniques of measuring and mapping buildings onto paper. During the rest of the program we traveled all across New York City from Governors Island and the Swedish cottage in Central Park to the Washington Square Arch, and the World Trade Center. We drew and studied the various styles of architecture from French to Modern to Neoclassical. This program though being short, helped me improve my artistic abilities as well as meet actual architects and a civil engineer, and get a glimpse into what their jobs are like.

I chose to attend the Center For Architecture Summer Program because I see it as an opportunity to get a taste of how life as an architect may be as I plan on becoming one in the future. I am thankful for the opportunity to attend this program and gain an experience that I otherwise wouldn't have. Thank you to Wishbone and the generous donations from my donors.
