I am currently running the Architecture Club at the Sydney Opera House with 3 workshops underway for 2023 . The next workshop is on the 11th November 2023. Go to Architecture Club - Sydney Opera House for bookings.
5. I have lived & traveled all over the globe as I backpacked for 2 years. I have worked as an Architect in Hong Kong, Hanoi, London, Beijing , Shanghai, Coastal NSW & Sydney !!
My bucket list is to try & visit every country in the world.
6. I studied for 12 years !!! (yep its a long time). I have studied Interior design, sculpture, architectural drafting and fine arts. I hope to be accepted for a PHD in 2023.
7. I have designed (& am designing), 5 Star hotels, hospitals, workplaces & train stations. I can design anything!
8. My son Elijah (7) test drives all my classes before I teach them to you. I only teach classes I would want to do myself! Every class is engaging.
9. When I’m not designing you can find me on the tennis court or bush walking.
10. I love seeing my students proud of themselves.
I’m always thinking about how to inspire my students, so drop me a line at louise@architectureforkidsschool if you have any tips or comments.
