Welcome Andria to the ft3 team! Andria is our newest Architectural Intern and we are so incredibly pleased to have her share her ideas and unique design perspective on all that is design.

Originally from Indonesia, she moved to Canada to pursue her master’s degree in Architecture for which she won the Manitoba Architects Association prize for best thesis in 2021.

'Tales of the People: Folklores and Heritage Preservation in a Multicultural City' is a design thesis project that explores folklore and storytelling as forms of cultural exchange, sustainability, and community-building. The collection and analysis of stories inform the design of a new multicultural storytelling venue to inspire hope among immigrants and shape a more inclusive city while preserving a historic building in Winnipeg’s Exchange District. The research involves artistic interpretations of folklore, and architectural translations of traditional forms of storytelling, including puppetry, that preserve and promote local communities.

A fun fact about Andria is that she loves collecting rocks whenever she travels.
