There are a lot of things that I’m really excited to see and do in Santiago. The first is I’m really interested in seeing Elemental’s projects, because I think sustainability is really important, and as architects and engineers we should try and minimize our impact on the environment. I like that the firm thinks a lot about what materials they use and how to design the building based on what it will be used for. Another thing that I am looking forward to is using my new camera. I’m interested to try and capture different things with my camera and my sketching, because I think there are certain things you can’t capture with a photo but can with a sketch, and vice versa. In terms of sketching, I would like to try more abstract drawing, by focusing on light, materiality, or other details. Lastly, I am looking forward to experiencing South American culture. I have never been to South America, and am excited for the food, the language, and just the general atmosphere. I took one year of Spanish a long time ago, so it will be interesting to see what I remember. I want to try as much new and local food as possible, and just take everything in.
