Interdisciplinary learning is not just preferred, it is also necessary.
The future of education will be built with students, not for them."
Presenting to Studio Gang
We had the opportunity to present our research to a panel composed of lead Architects from the Studio Gang Project. We pinned up all our research on the walls around us and lead them through a "day in the life" of a future student.
