In the beginning of the interview with Fernanda Azevedo\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>they started talking about the importance of finding your passion<\/strong> at a young age, and the only way to do that is to try new things and learn new skills. It is on the basis of this idea that she viewed the necessity of starting to work in the beginning of her undergraduate studies in Brazil.\u00a0<\/strong>Fernanda<\/strong> attributes this decision with her professionalism currently, and it is part of why she was chosen to be a Project Captain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the main parts of being an Architect is knowing how to handle the pressure of deadlines, and being able to balance your work with your life. Once you are able to find that balance you will realize how productive and impactful you can be!<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another key point that\u00a0Fernanda<\/strong> made during the interview was the difference in the office culture and architectural industry between Brazil, the USA, and Italy. She mentions that both Italy<\/strong> and Brazil<\/strong> have a sense of their architectural history, while in the US it was not as valued or important. For example, during her time in Milan, not only do architects and designers know about the value of the architectural history and how it is tied to the country’s story, but so to do the general populace. Such a well informed populace is able to better communicate what they want out of design.<\/p>\n
