Lincoln Ruiz-Troung

Lincoln Ruiz-Troung

UC Berkeley, 4th Year Architecture Major

With Four Interdisciplinary minors in Geospatial Information Science & Technology, Sustain Design, City & Regional Planning and Environmental Design and Urbanism in Developing Countries.

My professional aspiration is to establish a cooperatively run architecture practice that engages every dimension of housing development—from design and construction to financing, policy, community, and long-term stewardship. I am entering this profession not just to design buildings and spaces, but to reimagine the systems that shape them and to participate in building a more just and livable future.

Valeriia Pak

UC Berkeley, 4th Year Architecture Major

West Valley College Valedictorian, Joe Ann B. Charest Scholarship Endowment Recipent

As a future architect, I aspire to make accessible and pleasant public spaces. I believe accessibility is more than a set of standards, but a fundamental consideration for all design that can inspire creativity and innovation. I look forward to working with and learning from architects, engineers, designers, and other professionals to continue the current efforts for a more accessible and inclusive built environment.
