I am currently a Masters in Architecture (RIBA Part 2) student seeking to improve my knowledge in the architectural field. Already a licensed architect in Brazil (CAU), I decided to quit my former job and pursue a higher education abroad.
Architecture is part of who I am rather than what I do for a living. I believe the way you see the world changes drastically when you study architecture, especially if you come to study it from the very beginning - historical facts. Society is caved by behaviors and its architecture is simply a shape of the reality of the time.
Interesting enough, if architecture is part of society's issues, can it be part of the solution as well? I believe so. I reckon on how architecture and urban planning can be inspirational. And yes, it is my passion. However, it does not need to be one's passion to truly influence their lives.
That is the main reason why I seek inspiration, precedents, influences, innovative design, interactive installations, art, and anything related that can contribute to my repertory. If we are better, we can accomplish better results.
