B.F.A IN ARCHITECTURE AND
MASTERS IN ARCHITECTURE (M.ARCH)
NAG
Hello, my name is Nicholas Alexander Gogal and I am an intern architect and digital designer. I am currently completing my second graduate year at the Savannah College of Art and Design working towards my Masters of Architecture Degree. Helping others to the best of my ability is something I strive to do each day. Whether in the classroom, in my work, or in my everyday life, serving people either in the capacity as a leader or member of a team gives me fulfillment. Architecture is not just about constructing a functional building, but it is also about designing a form or structure that compliments its surroundings while still addressing the requirements of the client or user.
The works on this website are all stepping stones in my architecture experience. They are far from complete, but the ideas and concepts are strongly shown throughout each piece which ultimately led to my final designs.
