Henry has returned this January to complete 5th year of the Bachelor of Architecture degree at WIT and he says of his scholorship experience in Renzo Piano's office:
"I was exceptionally honoured to have won and been given the opportunity to represent WIT in Genoa. The experience in RPBW was life changing and I benefited endlessly from my time there. It allowed me to discover, learn, experiment and develop a better understanding of the profession and what it entails. While there I worked on the new Museum & Theatre for the Academy Awards in L.A. Working with a small team I was given the opportunity to explore all aspects of the design process and development."
"RPBW is a practice that pushes architecture forward by constantly experimenting and exploring with new ideas, I am very grateful to Waterford School of Architecture for affording me the opportunity to work there."
