In the inaugural episode of "WIA: Women in Architecture," join architects Lauren and Katerina as they embark on a nostalgic journey through their years of architecture school at Illinois Institute of Technology. From the moment they first heard about the university, to late-night studio sessions and finding classes that deepened their passion for architecture, this episode takes you behind the scenes of five years of architecture school.
As they delve into their experiences, they vividly describe the rigorous workload that defined their lives, how the pressures of architecture school often led to pulling all-nighters, and how common it was to struggle through classes like structures and mechanical systems. Lauren and Katerina pay homage to the city they called home for those five years: Chicago, a dynamic and architecturally rich city.
