Summer has us feeling nostalgic and missing our students 🌞

Throwback to Professor Gould’s Urban Studio site visit in Asheville this spring, where they immersed themselves in researching and designing resilient strategies for the rebirth of the River Arts District. They spent the day walking the district, taking photos, and gaining a deeper understanding of the site.
