What year did you start the program: Winter 2010
Projects that are not part of the standard curriculum:
Lotem assembled his curriculum by choosing courses from the graduate program and the landscape architecture program that would give better grounds for researching architecture in extreme climatic conditions, and in particular, desert architecture.
In the last year, he had the chance to expand his knowledge in the field of landscape architecture, studied the use of vegetation in extreme conditions, and participated in a competition for an urban garden in Netanya.
His final project in a graduate sustainability course was researching the existing methods for storm water management in different scales: from urban planning to architectural details.
Hobbies and other activities:
Ever since I can remember, Art has been a major part of my life. I have been training in martial arts all my life alongside sculpting and painting. I also love scuba diving and extreme hiking.
Recommendations: “Enjoy the freedom you have from the beginning to study your particular field of interest. In later years this knowledge can become a foundation for research projects and cool innovative ideas!”
