We are currently 2nd year undergrad students at the Escuela de Arquitectura, Universidad de Puerto Rico Recinto de Río Piedras. We have done small scale class projects like beach showers and pavilions to name a few.
Architecture is a tool for improving the quality of life through space and ambience. For example, architects use skills ranging from technicality to artistry, in order to solve infrastructural and social issues in our society. Thus, architecture is the manifestation of these efforts to maintain and push the barrier for our quality of life.
This has been our first time participating in an architectural competition as a team. Although sometimes loosely based on reality, competitions let us go all-out and experiment with ideas and concepts we wouldn’t be able to carry out realistically.
Participating in architecture competitions is definitely taking a leap of fate, since you never know what the outcome will be. Regardless, this has been a way of testing our architectural creativity and process when faced with a challenge, making it an important and invaluable learning experience for us. This was also a fun opportunity to show our passion for design.
