“Tell me and I will forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will understand.” ~ Confucius, 450 BC
I’ve taught architecture studios and seminars, both undergraduate and graduate and participated on thesis committees, as well as being a guest for lectures and reviews at many universities.
