The fa\u00e7ade was created to disperse the natural light in a way that it reaches different parts of the office and enlightens areas.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0fourth place\u00a0<\/strong>was Marta Espinosa<\/a><\/strong>‘s Art Innovation Center<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0with 137 Likes\u00a0<\/strong>in Instagram.In the last Portfolio Challenge submission by Marta,\u00a0she submitted her project called\u00a0Territorial Planning and Equestrian Facilities<\/strong><\/a> ,which was influenced by her love for Equestrian<\/strong>.\u00a0Marta<\/strong>\u00a0has joined us again for another submission called Art Innovation Center\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0has added details regarding her inspiration and how she seeks to connect the center to the nature around it.\u00a0Marta<\/strong>\u00a0worked at Torrence Architects<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in Los Angeles<\/strong> and loved the experience.<\/p>\n
