Miami leads this multi-city program and our students had amazing introductory week of experiences and exploration into the world of commercial interior design! Highlights so far: - Students explored The Vizcaya Village and sketched the Superintendent's House for a design challenge. - A pizza party at Gensler's office, complete with breathtaking views, unique design elements, a tour of the materials library, and an insightful presentation on a mining project. A big thank you to Gensler for hosting our DYW students! - Maria Hurtado from Mannington Commercial, joined for a fun and interactive presentation with exploration of samples, learning about production processes, customization, material functions, and the importance of considering these factors in the world of design. Thank you for energizing our students! - All students were then given their at-home design activities for preparation to be in the studio this week with Miami design educator Kenzie Leon Perry. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on our students' incredible journey! 👉 Learn more: https://ow.ly/ocLe50SpB3u #IIDA #DYW #Miami #Students #InteriorDesign
