Hey there!<\/p>\n

I am\u00a0Andr\u00e9s<\/strong>, a Spanish architect from Galicia. Here, I have studied a Master’s degree in Architecture<\/strong> and in 2013 I co-founded the studio Mawa Arquitectura<\/strong> (https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mawaarq\/<\/a>). Since then, I have combined my position in the studio with diverse international experiences. The longest one has been my two years living in Sydney<\/strong> where I had the opportunity of have trained as a project manager. Besides, I have been living several months in different West African countries. There, I could perform other ways of doing architecture based on sustainability and bioconstruction.<\/p>\n

During this pandemic time the restrictions have been keeping our existence quite frozen. Because of that, my partner and I were looking for a bit of action in our lives. One day, my partner told me about \u00a0Architect-US Job+J1 Visa Program. <\/strong>I saw it as a fenomenal chance to keep developing my career as an architect by gaining more international work experience.<\/p>\n

The process<\/strong> has been longer than I thought to be honest (about six months). Throughout these months I have had several interviews. Most of the times I received a positive feedback but unfortunately they never ended in an official offer. In fact, my partner and I were starting to move into other options when the proposal<\/strong> came.<\/p>\n

We received an offer from\u00a0AT Architects<\/strong>, and yes! you have read well, I said WE!\u00a0 <\/strong>Everything started a couple of months ago when both of us had an interview with the same studio. Although we had a small hope of being both chosen, we never thought that we would join together with the AT Architects team. That was a big coincidence!! wasn’t it?! To sum up briefly, AT Architects<\/strong> is a small studio in Manhattan. It is led by Ana Torres who always try to integrate the fields of architecture, landscape, and sculpture.<\/p>\n

At this time, I am just waiting for my passport after having my interview in the US embassy last week. I also have to admit that I am a bit nervous, especially about how I am going to adapt to the US system of measurement. For this reason, I confess that I have been dreaming about inches and feet last night.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, I am really looking forward to starting this new chapter of my life in NEW YORK<\/strong>.\u00a0 Even though I still cannot believe that I’ll be living in THE CITY<\/strong> of the cities, the truth is that just in a few days\u00a0I’LL BE THERE!<\/strong><\/p>\n
