    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Being new to Columbia and the University of Missouri in 2021, I was excited to expand my horizons and explore a world that was new to me. Having always lived in a small town, I was thrilled at the opportunity to explore my architectural creativity in a big, new world. I couldn&#039;t wait for the motivation I would get when moving into an environment that I thought would peak my craving for design. I was looking for design inspiration like that from Santiago Calatrava’s, The Oculus, or Rem Koolhaas’s, Seattle Public Library. I quickly realized however, that I was too naive, and Columbia lacked the inspiration and unique design I was hoping for. The campus&#039;s historical buildings, Memorial Union and Jesse Hall are exceptional, but provide no inspiration for a student like me. In my third year as an architectural studies major, after finally gaining adequate experience, I could show off my motivation. What better way to put my abilities to the test than to make a grand sports arena right here in Columbia. In my opinion a unique piece like a sports arena can define a city, a city like Columbia, which lacks such a piece. They are bold and extravagant and only one&#039;s imagination is the limiting factor. My design for the Mizzou Sports Arena and Recreation Center came from my motivation to provide Columbia with an awe-inspiring piece that sets it apart from the rest of the city.]]></dcterms:abstract>
