“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted to be an architect. I remember liking math and art when I was younger and asking my parents what careers involve these subjects. They introduced me to architecture, I fell in love with it, and I haven’t changed my mind since.” ??? Check out our recent Profile of Ritika Iyer, AIAS and learn about her journey to architecture, creating this year’s Hobson Award for the BSA Design Awards Gala with Northeastern’s CAMD, and her recent internship at Amenta Emma Architects. ???Read the full BSA Profiles interview: https://lnkd.in/esAn5ciS Amenta Emma Architects College of Arts, Media and Design (CAMD) at Northeastern University #BSAAIA #Boston #BostonArchitecture #architecture #StudentMember #PathToArchitecture #ArchitectureStudent #designawards #profile
