A class discussion was held among some Level III students about the defining concepts and symbols of Czech culture and civilization. This discussion built the foundation of a class project to incorporate these symbols and concepts into the architectural design of a building. The discussion highlighted these international students’ high regard and positive feelings gleaned from their own personal experiences in the Czech Republic. We thought we’d share their list with you.
