On January 16, we welcomed Rebecca Kwasnica, Student Architectural Intern, to our team of design professionals.
Rebecca, from St. Peters, MO is currently a fourth-year student in the five-year NAAB-accredited Kansas State University Master of Architecture program. Engaged in an Architectural Internship facilitated by Kansas State University, she dedicates sixteen weeks to collaborating with a professional firm, immersing herself in new work environments and unfamiliar locations. Beyond her academic pursuits, Rebecca enjoys reading, painting, and bowling during her spare time.
Let's get to know Rebecca better...
You mentioned you love to read, what is your favorite book or series?
"My favorite series is the Carve the Mark series by Veronica Roth."
How did you know you wanted to pursue architecture?
"I knew I wanted to pursue architecture because it allowed me to be creative in many ways and get into details of things, which I love."
Where do you find your best design inspiration?
"I find my design inspiration from the things and places I've visited in the past. One place that’s very close to my heart is The Forks Marketplace in Winnipeg, Manitoba. My dad’s side of my family is Canadian and every time we visit, we must go to the marketplace. It inspired one of my designs that got me runner up in a design competition I did my second year of architecture school!"

"I don't really have a favorite food, I like a lot of things, but if I had to pick one thing, it would be pierogis."
What building do you hope to see in person one day?
"One day, I hope to see the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona."
