2024 West Region Conference – Cultural Crossroads in Education: Ruth Baleiko
“The most important lessons come from an intimate and immediate conversation with natural world through making and experimenting, be it with wood, metal, or stone. These lessons prove to be invaluable in shaping my approach as an architect. They offer an empathetic perspective where design is in communion with the matter we work with. I always lean on my knowledge of craft alongside my technical and artistic training when working through any design problem.”
