About our event:

Choosing a career path is usually a difficult decision where we bring to bear our passions, our intuitions, our vision of the present, and our ambitions for the future. However, sometimes we only have a fragmented version of what it means to choose one, in this case, Architecture.

What is it to be an architect? and more importantly, What is it to be an architect today? During this masterclass, we will talk about how to make a difference while also strengthening our own abilities and interests.

We will talk about architecture as a career and the importance of selecting your own, unique path as the architect to come, and how we, at IE School of Architecture and Design, offer you the space and knowledge to do so.
