Maria Urquiola is a Venezuelan Architect that is currently studying and working in Valencia. She finished her masters at Universidad Europea and previously worked at Arcotectura interning there for just over 5 months. She is excited to continue her career in architecture, not only in Spain, but also over in the United States. She submitted one of her top projects to the Portfolio Challenge for the first time, and we are excited for her.
Maria previously worked in Venezuela for PDVSA and she had to complete a study of problems and solutions and was in charge of creating the architectural design, research and conceptual diagrams, drawings, and perspective renderings.

Sant Tomé Symphony Orchestra is the project that Maria submitted for her first Portfolio Challenge and it provides us with a look into how she would design and create a beautiful space for orchestra and music to be practiced and presented to the public. As you can see in the renderings below, Maria goes into detail about the different layouts and floor plans that take into account how the user will experience the music space.
Now since November of last year, she has been working as an Interior Designer for Boconni Projects in Valencia, Spain. Maria is excited to get the chance to make the big move to the US in the future via the Architect-US Job+J1 Visa Program.
