“The opportunity to learn in a city like Paris, a museum of living architectural styles, has been interesting. One of the highlights of this semester was a class where we reimagined scenarios of a site in the far future and really pushed our creativity! In my design course, we’re working with the déjà-là—valuing what’s already there. I will be proposing to transform an existing pavillonnaire neighbourhood into an open, connected community where shared spaces take the place of the fences dividing the residences.”
