iVY welcomed a group of students from the Rhode Island School of Design on Saturday. The RISD AIAS (American Institute of Architecture Students) hosts an Architecture Firm Crawl Series for students to tour the architecture workplace. These events give current architecture students an opportunity to see what an architecture career looks like and help prepare students for the professional field after graduation.
Roberto Viola Ochoa and Junko Yamamoto, the founders of the office, gave a presentation of the recent projects and discussed the past experiences and how they work, followed by Q&A. Students were engaged in the conversations and enjoyed seeing the physical models scattered around in the space.
