Architecture Shapes the Human Experience
“As an alumna of Baylor’s Interior Design program, seeing this next chapter take shape is deeply meaningful. The world truly needs a Baylor in this space because architecture shapes more than buildings; it shapes the human experience. Architecture can nurture belonging, beauty, and care for creation. It can make spaces and tasks more accessible for all users, or it can create barriers and exclude. Now more than ever, we need architects who are not only highly skilled but who approach their work with humility, curiosity, and purpose—designers whose practice is grounded in compassion and a commitment to human flourishing. Baylor is the perfect home for cultivating that vision.” —Elise King, MID, MA, Interim Chair of the Department of Human Sciences and Design and Associate Professor of Interior Design
