I had looked forward to this day hoping very much that my father would have been able to join me. Unfortunately it was not to be. But I was very happy that Catherine Philpott was able to come, taking a memorable film of the ceremony. It seems a long time ago when I first arrived in Newport to visit the city and the University campus. I met with many people both in the Association and officers working for the City Council. They offered much valuable advice and within a year I was back again taking up my studies.
‘Virtual Architecture’ presented as a digital installation was the subject of my dissertation. The project was aimed at discovering the influence of computer generated images within real space to create a multi-sensorial architectural design. For the past two years I had the opportunity to work as a 3D visualiser within the large local architect firm of BoyseRees. It was a truly valuable experience. I would like to thank the staff for all their kindness and goodwill.
I went finally to say how important it is to the young people in Kutaisi to have this chance to study at the University of Wales, Newport and to thank the great generosity of the governors of the University for this. |
