Borikén | ARCHITECT 

Architecture is a way of art, science, and other subjects combined that allow us to design structures. The we design is an expression of the way we live. Whether is a large or small structure it can make a huge impact in society. Believe it or not architecture can affect us in our way of living and way of adapting to the environment. Through ages architecture has evolved allowing us to create great buildings that adapt to our needs making easier the way we live. Architectural design we learned about the art of creating buildings and how it can affect the people or environment around us. It prepares us for other advanced courses and it's the building block for the architectural field. We learn about the history of architecture and great architects around the world. Its a really interesting class that can help us understand the way of living in some places and how different can the structure of a building be just for its location or culture.

What Is Architecture?

I am Lunna Del Mar Santos Velazquez a Senior in Practim Architectural Design II. (4th class of architecture) I get to choose the project concept that I will work in and develop in 18 weeks. I wanted to concentrate in self-sustainable and eco-friendly houses but instead of keeping it simple and get an easy grade I decided to push the limit in my last year. I am from Puerto Rico and I believe that any island with tropical weather can be completely self-sustainable if they wanted to. Due to some natural phenomenons that occurred this past year triggered the idea of this project since my family was affected and I would love to use my skills and the POWER of architecture to tackle this problem.
