About 

My name is Christian Sebastian Fuentes, and I am completing my fourth year as an architecture student minoring in furniture design at  Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). Currently living in Savannah, Georgia, yet born in Quito, Ecuador, and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, I have gained a significant understanding of the radically different types of living environments people enjoy. My dream of being an architect stems from this lifestyle shift. The field of architecture also captivates my interests through its inherent challenges. I am fascinated by the application of age-old engineering principles while pushing the envelope with intricate designs in order to bring about novel interpretations of forms. Additionally, I find it encouraging that architects are encouraged to evolve designs continually to meet societal needs. My dream is to take part in the ongoing architectural revolution to create spaces that evoke and form important connections between an occupant and the space they inhabit. Thus, I ultimately aim to experience and create experiential, elegant, engaging, and meaningful spaces in any context.

I have a real passion for design: I apply the same effort in creating, testing, experimenting, and presenting any project, regardless of the material involved. My constant practice of reading and my innate curiosity constantly lead me to seek new challenges. When I was younger, sports played a significant role in my life, and I never strayed far from my two greatest passions: soccer and surfing.

No matter the size of the wave or the length of the pitch, I always give my all, and more, in everything I do.

Thank You !
