Maria O’Connor<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0was a participant in the Architect-US program<\/strong><\/a> and was able to work in Seattle<\/strong> with JW Architects<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>and she was able to extend her stay past the 18 months afforded to her via the J1 Visa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Last time Maria\u00a0<\/strong>submitted HOUSING IN BRNO,\u00a0<\/strong>which takes inspiration from the city of Brno in\u00a0the Czech Republic. It\u2019s known for its modernist buildings, like the restored Villa Tugendhat, completed in 1930 by architect Mies van der Rohe. The medieval \u0160pilberk Castle houses a city museum, gardens and a former prison with vaulted tunnels. The Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul has baroque altars, a 14th-century statue of the Madonna and Child, and city views from its steeple.<\/p>\n

Maria <\/strong>is aware of the environment and the necessity for architecture to solve key design issues necessary for a\u00a0sustainable future. She is licensed as a LEED Green Associate, and was interested in pursuing the license due to her support of the preservation and reuse of the heritage buildings which is part of why she was inspired by the beautiful city in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n
