Köszönöm szépen. Vielen Dank. Thank you.



I had never been to Pécs before but Hungary is familiar to me as my father was born there. I grew up around the culture and language.  It was tremendously rewarding to be there in an educational capacity.

The people I met in Austria and Hungary were wonderful. They were extremely accommodating and made sure I learned everything I could in three short weeks. The experience I have gained is invaluable. In furthering my understanding of heritage preservation and adaptive reuse, and more broadly, the social art of architecture, this was an incredible opportunity.

Humbled by all there is to learn and overwhelmed with enthusiasm for architecture, my journey to Austria and Hungary has made a significant impression. I am grateful to all the people who gave their time and energy to helping me learn and get involved. I am so tremendously grateful to the University of California at Berkeley for this Travel Fellowship. Thank you!


Köszönöm szépen. Vielen Dank. Thank you.
Gábor, Viktória & Kata. Lunch on my last day.
This is my new friend and angel, Ilona. She was my guide and
brought me delicious treats so I wouldn't starve on my own! :)
