My name is Matthew Krider and I am from Clemson, South Carolina. I went to Daniel High School and came to Clemson to study engineering but changed to architecture after starting a minor and falling in love with it. In my free time, I enjoy wakeboarding and snowboarding and playing basketball. I recently got engaged over Christmas break and will be getting married this summer. My time in Genoa has been fantastic and traveling to different cities in field studies has definitely been a highlight of my time here. I feel like it has truly changed me as a person because I have had to get out of my comfort zone and really work to apply myself in situations when I didn’t know the language or the city that we were in. When you are out of your comfort zone, you really find out a lot of things about yourself. I learned this semester to never turn down an opportunity to go see something or do something, even if it was the end of the day and I was exhausted because time is short and I might not get the opportunity to ever do it again. At the beginning, the different currency, different language, and the big cities were intimidating. But now, I feel confident about traveling anywhere because in the end you realize that all places share a lot of similarities despite their surficial differences.

My name is Patrick Danahy. As a junior in Architecture at Clemson University, I have worked to discover myself, my style, and my design theory. Architecture school is a unique learning environment, in which you must seek out the opportunities to advance in the field. With each new city, new questions arose that evoked thought and furthered the development of my own architectural theories. We must respectfully become independent and search out the moments and memories that will further our own thoughts. Hidden moments lie in every city that can leave a lasting impact in your memory. In this same way, my architecture has adapted to impact users through spatial dynamism and visualization of poetic theories. Through this experience I have been given a new vocabulary, from which I can produce my own architectural theories and language.
