What’s your favourite pastime?
Playing a Fender Stratocaster with the neck pickup activated, plugged into a slightly overdriven tube guitar amp .
What’s one item you won’t leave home without?
I always carry with me a $1 bill that belong to my grandfather. My uncle passed it on to me before I emigrated from Venezuela. It connects me back to my roots and reminds me that I am where I am at and I am who I am thanks to the efforts of my ancestors.
Architecture places us in this world, it defines the uniqueness of our species and what we can accomplish together. I am constantly inspired by the incredible opportunity I have to be part of this discipline.
