Sign Your Life Away

Today was our first meeting for Riva- and it's looking like a great bunch of people. We talked more about what our expectations for the program were, rather than talking about logistics.

I'm still absolutely excited!

Riva is an extremely small town (think Blacksburg, condensed into a couple blocks) and apparently we're right in the middle of it! We'll be meeting the mayor, and I'm sure everyone else as we explore the town.

We talked a little bit about the courses too- we'll be living, breathing, and sleeping architecture. Everyday we'll have one hour of sketching- façades in Riva-churches etc. and at the end of the trip we'll be binding our sketches and giving them to the residents of the town!
There's going to be an architectural acoustics class, and we'll see symphonies and operas in significant theaters and opera houses around Switzerland and Italy.
