Evan Douglis, Dean of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s School of Architecture, invited Hoosac School Art and Design students to an informational event about Architecture on February 11. [private]
At the event, the students explored architecture not only as an exciting field of study, but also as a potential career path. Architecture is ideal for students who are interested in the intersection of art and science, sustainability and the power of our built environment to change the lives of many around the world. Students were introduced to both creative and scientific aspects of buildings and the importance of ecological design, among other things.[/private]
