\"Isaac<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How did you first get interested in architecture?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I run a lot, and as a result I have been to a lot of places on foot and seen how different it is from passing through in a car. That led to an interest in architecture being the study of not only how people interact with places, but also how places shape those interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of career do you hope to have?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small scale residential design, more specifically infill development like ADUs (accessory dwelling units) or community spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite thing about the David R. Ravin School of Architecture?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you participate in any community activities or work in the Charlotte arts\/design community?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lead Young Life at a high school nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have any merit\/departmental scholarships? If so, can you talk about the benefits?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a Boardman Scholar. As the son of two teachers this scholarship has made it much easier to continue my education without as much financial burden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are not in class, studying, or working, what do you like to do for fun<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually I am outside running, building something with found materials or with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
