The sessions aim to provide students with a deeper understanding of how design principles apply in real-world contexts, fostering both insight and inspiration. These interactions also offer a unique opportunity for students to explore various architectural and design specialties such as landscape architecture, interior design, and architectural photography, and speak with industry leaders, potentially paving the way for future opportunities.
