Alessandra Müller

Architect from Brazil

“In 2012 I decided to pursue a new personal and professional horizon, choosing to experiment an old passion, starting my bachelor’s degree in architecture. This decision effectively synthesized and connected my own previous experiences in life. Since then, between coursework and professional development, the Wood Program cleared my path to a deep knowledge of a material that presents an almost infinite range of possibilities for creation.”
