Architect and USCPrice graduate Colin Montoute devotes himself not only to optimizing form and function, but also to helping build a more environmentally sustainable future through the structures he designs. “Whatever the project, I’m always asking how to best create the kind of rich, dynamic places that make for a vibrant society,” he tells USC Online. To bolster his ability to answer such questions, the award-winning architect decided to pursue the online Executive Master of Urban Planning (EMUP) degree. At the link in bio, Montoute shares his journey to graduate school — as well as finding inspiration with modern graffiti artist icons Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. #USCOnline #EMUP #USCPrice
