Architecture Portfolio 2021
An architecture student looking for an opportunity to improve my skills and knowledge in the professional field of architecture as an intern, ready to experience, learn and work with the different aspects that follow.
I believe architecture is the investigation of framework that gives meaning to a project by its orientation to thinking, making and to connect with human emotions.
