VICTORIA CARDOZO joined FGA in 2020 after graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and a Supplementary Major in Italian Studies.

While at Notre Dame, Victoria served one year as the Vice-President of the Student Association for Women in Architecture, and was active in clubs including Students for Classical Architecture, Students for New Urbanism, and Dance Company. She also spent a year abroad studying in Rome and traveling throughout Europe. These experiences inspired her thesis proposal for an immersive resort in the Azores that encourages visitors to interact with and learn from the locals, in an effort to fight cultural ignorance and enclave tourism. In her free time, Victoria can be found planning her next trip, crafting and painting, trying new recipes, and eating what turns out well.

“Architecture can affect how people experience spaces in ways they may have never considered. Having the ability to enhance that experience for someone and make a space more meaningful or comfortable is something that I’m passionate about and proud of.”
