St Andrews Library Project
Hi! my name is Leena and as of September '21, I will be a 3rd year architecture student.
I previously studied Pharmacy in Aberdeen, but changing courses to architecture was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I find the creative, fast-paced, cultural nature of architecture very rewarding.
My favourite thing to do is to travel and appreciate international architecture and I am currently learning to develop my digital drawing skills.
The work I've displayed is part of our 2nd year semester 2 project where we designed a student library in St Andrews. Throughout this project, I developed my hand drawing skills alongside working on an Ipad. I learnt a lot from this project and I look forward to developing my skills and expanding my knowledge next semester.
