Michal Koszycki is a native of Warsaw, Poland. At Duke Michal created an independent program of study entitled "Designs Shaping the World." His self-designed curriculum aims at an interdisciplinary study of design. Under three titles of Visual Design, Ideological Design, and the Science of Design, Michal attempts to come to terms with many of the conventional academic disciplines from a designer's perspective. In accordance with his program's intention, Michal's time at Duke has been a challenging and rewarding intellectual experience. He hopes to continue his exploration at a Master's of Architecture program next year. During his time at Duke, Michal has also taken the opportunity to travel and approach the career of an architect. This summer, the Visual Arts Fellowship, the University Scholars Program Summer Research Scholarship and the Benenson Award in The Arts allowed him to participate in a Career Discovery Program at Harvard, as well as to travel to Italy for an architectural, historical reconstruction project. Michal has recently been accepted to the Phi Beta Kappa society in recognition of his academic performance.
