There are three essential things you need to know about me: I love being an architect, I love the planet, and I love the AIA.
Being an architect is a cool job. We get to design buildings that people use all the time, and that last for decades. Every day brings a new puzzle to solve. It’s fun, exciting, and fulfilling. It’s also a great responsibility. People’s lives are in our hands. The simplest choices we make today affect generations to follow. It takes ability, understanding and conviction to become an architect.

People always ask, how/why did you choose Architecture? It’s a rather interesting story ...
Early in high school, I wanted to be a Paleontologist because of my interest in history and evolution. Since I excelled at math and was very artistic, a friend’s mother suggested Architecture instead, stating that I wouldn’t make any money as a Paleontologist (Ironic?). Naturally, she would say that ... since Hollywood always portrays Architects as wealthy, living in self-designed uber modern homes!

started my professional career as a Registered Architect in Mexico. In 2002, I relocated to the United States. While I was excited about this opportunity, naturally I was worried about leaving behind the professional life that I had built, as well as leaving family and friends.

Like most kids, I grew up playing with LEGOs, however, I also grew up in an architect’s office (TTIA in Deal). From a young age, I colored with Prismacolors at my Dad’s drafting table. In high school, I learned CAD and interned at his office picking up redlines and learning how to read drawings. That was back when blueprints still smelled like ammonia.

Growing up the youngest of nine siblings raised in Southwest Philadelphia, I learned what it means to be a team player and the meaning of hard work at an early age. Being the baby in the family gave me a really strong work ethic; I had to work for everything.

By amplifying the discussion of black women, it is perceived that finding them in the academic and professional universes is still a not widely common situation, due to a deeply unequal historical process. In the recognition of the spaces conquered by the professional partners, going beyond the limits of [social and economic] inequality and racial discrimination becomes a path to tread, in an attempt to achieve, equally, the spaces that feminism in its universality has managed to occupy.

 One architect I heard speak at an event last year described those working in her profession as "agents of expensiveness." It can certainly seem that way. One sector that doesn't come to mind when we think of architectural flair is that of public housing. There certainly has not been much cash to flash about recently. But it has not always been that way, and some are making steps to raise our expectations of the design of affordable and public housing. Can design really save the day?

Architects are increasingly aware of our influence on the well-being and good health of the users of our projects. Natural lighting — and how it should be complemented with artificial lighting — is an essential factor to consider for the visual comfort of interior spaces. But, do we know how to handle it correctly?
The absence of discomfort at the time of seeing is not enough to measure the visual success of a space. Things like the rate of blinking, level of glare, or light blindness help to determine the environmental quality of a room.

Located in Lyons, Oregon, Freres Lumber has been in business for nearly a century. After starting out producing standard lumber projects, the company moved into wood veneers some 60 years ago and in 1998 purchased a plywood plant. Now, its made another step: getting U.S. and Canadian patents on its mass plywood panel, the first veneer-based mass timber panel in the world, and fire approvals to build up to 18 stories high with the panel.

Cities need to ditch internal politics and a siloed approach and embrace urban planning that focuses on the needs of their residents, according to Helle Søholt, a leading urban planner who spoke at Fortune’s Brainstorm Design conference in Singapore recently.
Søholt is the founding partner and CEO of Gehl, an architectural firm based in Copenhagen, New York, and San Francisco.

Building Design + Construction
Recently developed products such as transparent wood, hydrogel embedded in walls, and bricks that help filter air pollution could make a substantial impact on building sustainability in coming years.
Swedish researchers have developed a wood material that is 85 percent transparent by compressing strips of wood veneer and replacing lignin with polymer. It could be a greener alternative to glass and plastic.
