Thank you for this talk! It's this type of thinking that encourages me to not give up on this degree🤍

[@eduardotorres3457]

Architects, should create the politics of architecture. Where they all establish guidelines for a better and much more engaging building/spaces with one only purpose, the wellbeing of people who use them.

[@safalabista]

As a student of architecture, that is my only goal. Do I know how to do that yet? No. But the idea of one day being able to design places and architecture that serve the people and the environment is the only thing that motivates me.

Cities in the Garden! Cities designed for walking. Mixed use buildings i.e. apartments with balconies above workspaces. City owned-cars. No parking garages or parking lots. Mass transit! Like the Epcot Park in Floride.
