Academic Exchange
CEU Workshop Winner
Universidad San Francisco de Quito, Ecuador Participated in a semester-long academic exchange focused on Latin American architecture, landscape, and urbanism. During this period, I covered the Quito Architecture Biennale, conducted field research, and interviewed local scholars — including María Rosa Zambrano — deepening my understanding of South American architectural culture, environmental contexts, and landscape design approaches. This experience strengthened my regional perspective and enriched my academic and professional development.
