As college student studying architecture, it has been quite hard for me to adapt to this new reality of Covid-19. I would like to talk about is a picture that I received from a friend, of the current state of our studio space that we had last year. To put you in context, I have not been at school since December 2019, therefore I have not seen the measures put place by the school to allow students to use the architecture studio space. I was shocked and sad when I saw the picture because with all the preventions that the school put in place, I realized that the studio does not have the same feel and energy that it had before. I found it very sad because most of what made studio classes so fun was the fact that you could interact with people and talk about different projects and ideas. I can see most of this good energy is now gone and being at home is beginning to take its toll on everyone. This contact that we all cherished is now gone and it is getting harder to keep pushing forward.
