Our panel has architecture in context in different industries, applying the knowledge of architecture through aerospace manufacturing, construction, and real-life architectural projects. We grounded our classroom experience of architecture in the working world and sought to understand the practical applications of architecture. Among our projects, two of our projects include working in an architectural firm, assisting with real-life projects using architectural softwares. Another project was interning at a crew program, helping them with constructing a house along a lake for the program. Additionally, one of us interned at a company as a server administration intern, assisting with internal services by creating applications and modeling aerospace manufacturing. In all of our projects, architecture is integral to the design process and the creativity involved.
