left to right, Marcela Delgado, Julia Hu, and Lauren Schneider- our first architectural design grads 05-06

Marcela Delgado, one of our first three graduates in Architectural Design (05-06) has just recently brought us up to date on what she has been doing since graduation.

This last November, she located a position as an Intern Architect with HKS
in Dallas. Marcela tells us that HKS has a broad based practice which includes among other projects - institutional, healthcare and sports facilities. www.hksinc.com

Meanwhile, prior to her new position, she had been hard at work polishing her portfolio, taking the GRE’s, and applying to the following graduate architecture schools: Harvard, Berkeley, Yale, Columbia, University of Texas, University of Virginia, and Princeton. As of March 20, 2007, Marcela has been accepted to master’s degree programs in architecture at Harvard, Berkeley, Yale, Columbia, and University of Texas.

I requested that Marcela allow us to post her portfolio, and she has just sent her gracious permission. I felt that viewing her portfolio might be beneficial to all of you with that task ahead.

Many thanks to her for allowing us to post her portfolio! Btw, Marcela begins studies at Harvard GSD fall 07.

Happy New Years to everyone and congratulations for a quarter well done. I look forward to a great 2007. Keep your eyes on the blog for upcoming events and information. Enjoy the rest of break!
