wow, how could she have managed to become a good architect without IDP... She must be such a danger to the public...24 and starts a firm! Is this what the old farts in the US are really affraid of?
Very nice work by the way!
Clean details!
[jla-x] Absolutely agree with your comment here.
kick ass!! totally agree with jla-x!
hmmm no ivy league dregree, managed to get a diplom by the age of 24, and get all this great work done by 32.
must've had connections.. i mean who here as a child played with templates of letters, furniture, huge rolls of tracing paper, Rotring pens, and compasses unless your mom/pop was an architect also xP
for sure must have loaded parents + connections (Catalan after all, and building in Spain now!). But still I have loads of spoiled friends that barely can get through arch. school.
She accomplished a-lot, and those buildings look good. Without IDP. The work stands for itself.
Design work is superb and Jia-X is right on the mark. IDP is a terrible switch in the rules. I can name a few old timers who would have never gotten licensed in that way. I mean, who couldn't? It's just not a fair system. And it's failure will be felt by the practicing discipline in the years and decades to come.
Da Vinci Code?
