Meet Global Ambassador Meredith Buchhorn, participating in the faculty-led program "Critical Works of Modern and Emergent European Architecture" in Copenhagen, Denmark!
"Hoi from Zürich! I’ve been studying abroad in Switzerland and it has been such an incredible experience. This May Term program began in Copenhagen, and will finish in Basel. Every day, I’ve had the opportunity to study the architecture of these amazing places and their surrounding cities including Malmo, Sweden and Bern, Switzerland.
If you couldn’t tell from the photos, the views have been spectacular. My favorite place we’ve visited so far has been Peter Zumthor’s thermal baths in Vals, Switzerland. We spent the whole day unplugged and relaxing in the various pools within the bathhouse. I studied this building during my first year at The University of Texas at Austin School of Architecture and I never imagined I’d one day get to experience it in person.
As I continue exploring new places, I’ve been learning how to capture spaces through different mediums, including sketching, watercolors, and photography.
This program is flying by, and I can’t wait to see what the rest of this trip holds!"
