Spending six months on exchange was a fantastic experience. I met and worked with people from many different countries, and discovered what it`s like to live in one of the most vibrant cities in the world. My time in Glasgow broadened my opinion of what architecture is, and can be. This is something I will continue to develop throughout my architectural career.
