I believe that people, culture, and the surroundings are what make architecture so prominent, not just the physical buildings. The simplicity of interaction and communication within a space are what makes the process of architecture even possible. Without the individuals and the societies, there would be no need for buildings, communities, and architecture. The study of architecture has given me the opportunity to interact with some of the most diverse people and cultures in the word. From the third-world villages in Guatemala and Belize to the reďŹ ned and exquisite neighborhoods of Paris, culture has aided my development as a person and as a designer.
