Is often said that it is important to know deeply with who are you going to work with in order to build up a good and healthy working relationship. Therefore, I could also provide more referees if needed. For more information do not hesitate to contact me.

Alicante, January 2016

To whom it may concern:

I know Beatriz Rodriguez for more than five years, first when she was doing her studies at Polytechnic University of Valencia, and also, she collaborated as an architect in my architecture studio during these last two years.

As a student, Beatriz demonstrated high interest and commitment dealing with the assignments given. Apart from this, she always found creative and surprising ideas to tackle the tasks. She loves to learn more, look for new ways to understand architecture as a tool to improve people’s life, and solve their problems and needs, but always without forgetting to take care of the environment. She does not hesitate to use unconventional materials like earth when needed, as you could see e.g. in her final project work.

Her perceptive analysis of the site and wide knowledge on several areas (like, for instance, landscape, ecology, construction, public space, building, graphic design or CGI) give her a strong basis to achieve innovative proposals. She always runs away from stereotypes and looks for a specific solution in each project.

Moreover, thanks to her graphic skills, she collaborated in my architecture studio to make realistic visualizations for our ongoing projects. We are delighted with her high quality work. Her perspective choices for each assignment shape perfectly every project and put their strongest points on top. She knows how to transmit the projects ‘essence, and this makes our clients easier to understand them.

In conclusion, for all the features listed above and because I know her as a worker and also as a person, I can assure that it will be a great success to incorporate one skillful architect like Beatriz Rodriguez.

At your disposal for any additional information you may require.

With best regards,

Mr. Jose Puchol-Salort, Architect, MSc pucholarquitectes@gmail.com

Barcelona, 26th April 2016

To Whom It May Concern, It is a pleasure to be writing this recommendation of Beatriz Rodríguez Sánchez , who has participated to our postgraduate program ‘Social Urban Regeneration, a look at Enric Miralles’, from 8 October 2015 to 18 December 2015.

Beatriz has continually shown great skill and ability to approach to different types of projects and scales. She is an excellent worker and has shown outstanding re sponsibility in all areas of her work. Beatriz adapted quickly, was able to work on a team as well as on her own. Her personality and the focus she brought to each task were always positive.

During the postgraduate program Beatriz specialized in urban planning and social conditions analysis, advanced integrated building design, experimental design through a 1:1 prototyping workshop, and efficiency of energy resources.

She proposed innovative solutions and always liked to experiment and investigate.

I strongly recommend Beatriz and am confident in her ability to continually outperform herself. I have no doubts that she is capable of meeting your expectations.
