Karen Vankovich

Karen is graduating with her Master of Architecture in May 2021; she received her Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Kent State University in 2017. Continuing on to Penn helped her flip her initial understanding of architecture on it's head with deeper theoretical exploration and digital exploitation. She has retained an interest in materials, models, casting, and details, appreciating the tactile side of her studies. Penn has encouraged her to stay curious, from testing the extents of a unique concept to how much caffeine can be tolerated by an average sized female. She would like to thank the program not only for its rigorous education but for connecting her with so many talented and enjoyable colleagues.
