Summer 2022 Study Abroad Spotlight: Student Katie Tischer, BEDA Dec ‘22.
“My summer abroad, film strip style.
Hi, my name is Katie Tischer. I am a senior finishing up my BEDA degree this fall, and one of the team members behind the SoA Instagram page.
This summer I had the opportunity to travel abroad for 90 days and experience life in Copenhagen, Denmark. During these 90 days I solidified my Danish citizenship, spent much needed time with family, completed a 7 week studio abroad at The Danish Institute of Study Abroad (DIS), and saw so many unique projects across Europe.
I want to say a huge thank you to my studio professor at DIS, and all others who made this summer one I will not forget. Stay in touch.

I arrived in Denmark early May and spent the month traveling and getting to know my Danish family. In early June I explored Rome, Italy, before beginning the summer semester at the DIS.
The first half of the DIS studio consisted of more field trips and site visits than I can count. The school even organized a week-long trip to Finland and Sweden, packed with private tours of so many astounding projects, some even led by the project architects themselves. In the last 3.5 weeks of the program, my studio mates and I were tasked with designing a textile artist residency in downtown Copenhagen.
At the end of the summer, family from home came and visited me in Denmark. Together, we took an extensive 12 day road trip across the Danish countryside to Skagen, the northern tip of Denmark. Along the way, we stopped at so many beautiful and culturally significant landmarks. This trip quickly became an amazing opportunity to learn about my own cultural heritage. This summer was unforgettable.”

"Diffusion: Revealing the Forest Within” by Maggie Kroenig and Connor Schwartz recently received Honorable Mention in @acsanational's 2022 Timber Competition.
Out of over 600 submissions, their project was one of eight exceptional projects selected that interpret, invent, and deploy numerous building systems all focused on innovations in wood design using a real site - the Arts Center MARTA Station in Atlanta, Georgia.
“Diffusion: Revealing the Forest Within is a selected honorable mention calling attention to Atlanta’s loss of nature. The students created detailed and beautiful rendering with an interior dominant scheme which highlights the timber construction from within.” -Juror Comment
