CSF Scholar Makes His Mark in Architecture with a Summer Internship at The Architectural Team (TAT)
October 3rd, 2024
Luisantonio, a CSF GO Scholar and 2024 graduate of East Boston Central Catholic School (EBCCS), is an aspiring architect. In the lead-up to CSF’s 34th Annual Building Minds Scholarship Fund Gala, Honoree Rick Henken visited EBCCS, where Luisantonio had the opportunity to share his passion for architecture with him. Rick was eager to help Luisantonio achieve his dreams, so he offered to connect him with Gary Kane from The Architectural Team (TAT), with whom he had previously collaborated with.
Rick introduced the Rivero family and the EBCCS principal to Gary, who visited the school. Like Rick, Gary was excited about Luisantonio’s aspirations to become an architect and wanted to give him an opportunity to experience working in the field.
After the visit, arrangements were made for Luisantonio to participate in an internship at TAT. This opportunity allowed him to immerse himself in the daily life of an architect, learning firsthand what the profession entails. To finish up this incredible experience, Luisantonio accompanied Gary and TAT on a site visit to one of the projects they are working on.
Speaking about his work placement opportunity with TAT, Lusitano said, "I am so blessed to be given the opportunity to be part of the architectural world. Even from day one, I was learning valuable information. Many people in the firm helped me better understand what it meant to be an architect. I got to experience the different formats and software in which they design different buildings, and it really fascinated me how these applications have amazing 2D and 3D visual models. I am really looking forward to continuing my internship next summer."
