Georgette Blau

Kaela is a rising senior studying art history with a minor in architecture at Barnard College in New York City. While her concentration is in contemporary art, she loves architecture and hopes to pursue a career in architectural design. There is no shortage of architectural inspiration between her two home bases of New York and Boston, but her favorite style is Art Nouveau, and one of her favorite buildings in New York is the Bayard–Condict Building. When she is not in New York, she lives outside of Boston with her parents, younger brother, younger sister, and two dogs.

Noelle is working towards a master’s degree in public relations. She attended Marist College in Poughkeepsie, where she received her bachelor’s in public relations, and continues her studies at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications in Syracuse. Noelle is from Ft. Lauderdale and currently resides in Albany. She would like to visit the Staats House in Stockport, the oldest house in upstate New York, and has a strong interest in buildings of the Federal style. Some of her biggest passions are entertainment and history so she hopes to be doing public relations in one of those fields after graduation.

Jade is an incoming junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, studying interior architecture and pursuing a certificate in sustainability. She is currently based in Minneapolis, where she grew up and was first introduced to the power and beauty of our built environments. Her passions for design, making, and space are combined with a strong appreciation for historic architecture and the beautiful landscapes that surround them.

One of her favorite architectural styles is Art Nouveau as it is characterized by organic forms, colors, and textures that draw inspiration from plants and nature.
