Hi.
My name is Jenette Danes and this blog will be a journal documenting a semester long journey of learning (and un-learning), discovering, and analyzing urban design.
My educational background includes:
* Associate of Architectural Drafting - Ricks College (1980)
* Associate of Drafting Technology - Treasure Valley Community College (2010)
*Associate of Arts - Treasure Valley Community College (2011)
* Bachelor of Architecture with Art minor - University of Idaho (2014)
I am currently in the University of Idaho Master of Architecture program located at the Urban Research Design Center in Boise, Idaho.
I grew up near a small town outside Boise, Idaho then spent several years living in various locations across the country from Florida to California and across the world in Japan (Air Force husband). I worked for a short time as a drafter, participated in a crafter's co-op, raised and homeschooled a family, and served as president and other leadership positions in a woman's organization, a young woman's organization, and a children's organization.
At this point I do not know if I want to be a licensed architect or not. I think I would eventually like to find or create a career that uses my degree and training but is not necessarily in a typical architecture studio. I have explored courses in architecture related design areas such as information design, furniture design, and, currently, urban design in order to be more versatile. I plan to work in an architect studio to learn all I can while I look for that 'ideal' career.
