Growing into My Role at S9<\/strong><\/h2>\n

October has been a month of growth at the studio<\/strong>. Since my first weeks, I have become more comfortable in the office and in my daily routine. As a result, I am now contributing to several projects at S9 Architecture<\/a> and Engineering.<\/p>\n

Among them are a skyscraper<\/strong> in Downtown Brooklyn<\/strong> and a residential building in Harlem<\/strong>. Each project has its own scale and challenges. Overall, working on both has shown me how differently a tower and a mid-rise residential building respond to their urban context.<\/p>\n

Weekend Escapes: Sleepy Hollow and Beacon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Outside of work, I made the most of New York\u2019s famous fall season. One Saturday, I took a day trip to Sleepy Hollow, the town that inspired the legend and the film. Walking through its streets, I could easily see why the story still captures so many imaginations.<\/p>\n

On another weekend, I visited Beacon to see the fall foliage. From there, I explored a town that feels especially charming in autumn, with its characteristic main street and colorful trees along the Hudson<\/strong>. Together, these trips gave me a welcome break from the city.<\/p>\n

Halloween in Brooklyn and Manhattan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Halloween was another highlight of the month. During the day, I wandered around Brooklyn to watch children go trick-or-treating, a tradition I had only seen in movies before. In the evening, I joined the parade in Manhattan\u2019s West Village<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since then, I have kept thinking about how the whole city seems to take part in the celebration. Overall, it was a lively and unforgettable way to experience an American tradition for the first time.<\/p>\n
