Aydelott Travel Award: Yuria Sloane, Summer 2024 kig27 Thursday, September 12, 2024 - 6:40 pm

Thanks to a $20,000 Aydelott Travel Award, Yuria J. Sloane, a senior architecture student, traveled this summer to Bolivia, Japan, New Zealand and Norway to research the use of architecture as a tool of oppression and liberation for indigenous communities.

Read the announcement

From Sloane

"I left the U.S. on May 21, 2024 and returned July 16, 2024. My travels were really wonderful. First, I went to La Paz, Bolivia, with my good friend and roommate Osvaldo de Hoyos. The city was very busy and beautiful. In regard to my research, Osvaldo and I went on a tour of Freddy Mamani's buildings. We were able to go inside of one of his earlier works and hear a lot the customs of the celebrations that happen in the event spaces. We also found a cultural center that was celebrating Bolivian Mother's day while we were walking around the city.

Next, I went to the north island of New Zealand. I was joined in Auckland by a good friend from my hometown. We drove around the north island, stopping in cities on the way to Gisborne, the closest city to my building Te Wharehou o Waikaremoana. We drove through the mountains to reach this building, which sat in a basin next to a lake. We were able to speak to the staff of the building who were from the area. We then drove to the capital city, Wellington. There I visited the firm that built Te Wharehou o Waikaremoana (my building) and spoke to one of the firm's partners who was a lead on the team that designed it. We then drove back up to Auckland to fly out.

After New Zealand I went to Okinawa, Japan. I was joined by my mother, an Okinawan native. I visited my next building, the Okinawan Prefectural Museum. We went inside to look at a large exhibit on Okinawan history from their early days of civilization to the present. After a couple of days in Okinawa, my mother and I flew to mainland Japan to visit Iwakuna, Kyoto and Tokyo.

I left Japan at the end of June and flew into Berlin, Germany, for a couple of days and then took a train to Copenhagen, Denmark. These two cities were not part of my research but very interesting, nonetheless. I visited many museums and walked around almost everywhere.

From Denmark, I flew to Alta, Norway. Alta, Norway, was the closest "larger" town near my final building. Alta was a very small town with only one plane flying into and out of the airport at a time. My time in Norway was spent walking around and taking in the quiet, natural beauty. I was able to rent a car to drive two hours to my building, the Sami Parliament, in Karasjok, Norway. I joined a tour of the Parliament and explored the public library in the same building. I also visited the Sami Cultural Museum, which had traditional and historical Sami architecture on display outside of the museum. I also visited the Northern Lights Cathedral in Alta.

From Norway I flew all the way back home to Charleston, South Carolina.

This trip was truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. I met an amazing and diverse number of people in every country I visited. Seeing the different styles of architecture that are present in the everyday life of every place I visited was a real eye opening experience. The similarities that I found between a lot of these groups of people that are separated by vast distances was also a very humbling, connecting experience."

Why did you choose CAAD at MSU?

I chose CAAD at MSU because it has a great studio environment, allowing me to effectively integrate my design, math, physics and art skills. Since middle school, I have wanted to pursue architecture, and I'm fortunate to be studying architecture at MSU because of its great faculty and peers.

Favorite spot on campus?

My favorite spot on campus is the walking trail around Chadwick Lake because it is the perfect place for me to walk on stressful days. I enjoy the scenery around the lake.

If you could go back and tell your high school self one thing, what would it be?

If I could tell my high school self one thing, it would be to take your time. Take your time with classes, and don’t stress yourself with taking “extra” classes.

These are a few of my favorite things ….

I enjoy going on hikes, going to car shows, and playing badminton and volleyball. I love learning about classical architecture, especially the Five Orders of Architecture.
