Once Glenn Lancon finishes his undergraduate degree in architectural studies, heСAPPs going straight into the at UL Lafayette.
He plans on earning his architecture license as soon as he can, and he is well on his way with an internship at the firm EnvironMental Design, along with some renovation and historical survey work under his belt.
СAPPI surveyed any changes made since the buildings were built, whether they are used for the same purpose now as they were before, and whether the buildings were old enough to be considered historical,СAPP he explained.
Glenn says he has gained a lot of value from his experiences in the UL Lafayette architecture program. Along with the hands-on practical skills required to be an architect, he credits his experiences here with helping him manage his time.
СAPPTime management is a big one,СAPP he said, СAPPTo be able to balance the workload in this program is a really helpful skill.СAPP
He also credits the professors in the School of Architecture and Design with setting him up for success.
СAPPThe professors are very encouraging in every way possible,СAPP Glenn said, СAPPThey are really invested from the first day of class until the day you graduate. I can call up my second-year professor for help on a project and theyСAPPre more than willing. They know my work and they know my process and I think thatСAPPs a really unique trait of the architecture program.СAPP
Glenn didnСAPPt initially come to UL Lafayette to major in architecture, but he said, СAPPOnce I found architecture, I had to make the switch. I like building things and solving problems and all of that seems to come together in architecture.СAPP
The best part about the architecture program at UL Lafayette, Glenn says, is the openness for creativity that is not guaranteed at other universities.
СAPPWe took field trips to other universities to see their design programs,СAPP he explained, СAPPAnd it made me appreciate this program more. I enjoy the way UL Lafayette does things. There are many different creative processes done at other universities, but the way things are done here fits me.
СAPPI love the design process and I love the introduction to codes that we get here. Great design is not only beautiful, but it serves a purpose.СAPP
When asked what advice he had for incoming architecture students, Glenn said, СAPPFace it head on, and celebrate the process. ItСAPPs going to be difficult, but that perseverance will make you a great architect.СAPP
