First of all, I want to thank you for such an amazing experience! I truly enjoyed my course and would really like to attend it more times in the future. The organizers provided everything that we needed, my course was full of different entertainments! Special attention to my architectural teacher Lou Keleman, who did a great job and made me understand the architecture itself. His way of representing art and architecture made me dreaming of becoming an architect. I got everything I expected from this course. Thank you!
